 INTRODUCTION
“A moment of laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Inspired by the Inquisitor54 game, this fan-made
expansion introduces the shadowy world of the Inquisition
to the Necromunda. Players can now include Inquisitors
and their retinues in their games, bringing a new level
of intrigue and danger to their narrative campaigns. As
agents of the Emperor, Inquisitors have vast powers to
4 investigate and eliminate threats to the Imperium, but
they must also navigate the complex web of politics and
allegiances within their own secretive orders. With new
rules for creating Inquisitors (although not Inquisitor
Lords – if they would be forced to intervene personally,
Necromunda’s end would be rather near) and their
retinues, as well as rules for unholy enemies, Trading Post
appendix, psychic powers, action-mode for Warband vs.
Warband scenarios, and vast photo-chapter full of works
of some of the best Inq28 artists.
INQUISITOR54
For those who do not know, Inquisitor54 was a game
released by Games Workshop in 2001. The narrative
theme of the Inquisitor54 game was one of dark and
gritty intrigue in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players
would take on the role of Inquisitors, powerful agents
of the Emperor who are tasked with rooting out threats
to the Imperium. This often involves investigating cults,
mutants, and other heretical groups that threaten the
stability of the Imperium.
The game placed a strong emphasis on character
development and storytelling, with players encouraged
to create their own Inquisitors and their retinues. These
characters can have complex and conflicting motivations,
and their actions can have far-reaching consequences.
I tried to recreate this feel in this fan-made supplement,
giving vast toolbox to the players who would like to
recreate Inquisitor54 in their Necromunda games and
campaigns. Players can use only elements of this book,
or just take it as a big source of inspiration, focusing on
the Imaginarium chapter and artworks, both human-made
and AI-generated.
 PRESCENCE ON NECROMUNDA
“Against the Alien and the Traitor there is no fair way to fight.”
HISTORY
The Inquisition has an invested interest in Necromunda
due to its history of heretical activity and psychic
disturbances. The planet’s multiple factions and the
complex web of alliances and rivalries create a breeding
ground for cults and rogue psykers, which are seen as
significant threats to the Imperium’s stability. As a result,
the Inquisition maintains a presence on Necromunda
to root out these dangerous elements and maintain the
Emperor’s peace.
Agents of the Holy Ordos scour through the Hives, Ash
Wastes and Underhives in search for anyone, who could
endanger rule of the Imperium on such a crucial planet.
This often pits them against Lord Gerontius Helmawr, the
planetary governor, whose interests are not always the same
as those of the Inquisition. Nevertheless, sometimes the
threat is so imminent or of such a scale, that help from the
Holy Ordos is needed, and personal interests are put aside.
OLD AND RISING THREATS
Although countless cults and threats, rise and fall on
Necromunda, thanks to the relentless work of the Agents
of the Imperium, some places or events were much more
important than the others. Below I gather snippets from
the official lore, on instances, where the Inquisition was or
is involved.
HIVE SECUNDUS
Hive Secundus, once the second greatest hive city on
Necromunda, fell victim to a Genestealer infestation over a
century ago. The infestation was caused by rogue Adeptus
Mechanicus Tech-priest Biologis Hermiatus, whose
research went awry. The Inquisition intervened, resulting
in Hive Secundus being destroyed by Necromunda’s PDF
defence batteries, including its central spire. Despite this
extreme response, the Genestealer infestation remained,
and the ruins are now overrun by the xenos creatures and
their infected human kin. A ring of trenches and redoubts
surrounds the ruin, manned by conscripts and penal
troops. The xenos creatures and feral human survivors
engage in a constant war of survival.
Ordo Xenos as well as Space Marines from the Imperial
Fists chapter, which has monastery at the top of Hive
Primus, are closely monitoring any Genestealer Cults
activities, as unknown to many, some cultists have
escaped the destroyed Hive to spread Xenos gift further
across the world of Necromunda.
HIVE TEMENOS
Hive Temenos is one of the hives in the Palatine Cluster
of Necromunda, which is home to the headquarters of
the Ecclesiarchy and the Temple of the Emperor Deified.
The hive’s population is among the most devout followers
of the Imperial Cult, with many of its Clan Houses
manufacturing ritual items for the Ecclesiarchy and others
working in the scriptorium translating the priesthood’s 5
wisdom into Necromundan dialects. The Adepta Sororitas
also have a priory in one of the outer spires of the hive.
House Cawdor has a powerbase in Hive Temenos and
constantly wars against any rivals whose vision of faith
differs from their own.
The Inquisition finds interests in Hive Temenos due to the
hive’s position as a major hub of the Ecclesiarchy, which
has great influence over the population of Necromunda.
The Inquisition is concerned with rooting out heresy and
corruption within the Imperium, and the hive’s pious and
devout population, as well as the potential for underground
activities by House Cawdor, makes it a prime location
for their investigations. Additionally, the presence of the
Adepta Sororitas and the deployment of confessors and
missionaries from the hive gives many tools and potential
collaborators to the Ordo Hereticus especially.
THE IMMORTAL CULT
The Immortal Cult’s belief in psychic awakening has led
them to develop a unique and dangerous psychic ability
that allows them to plunder the secrets of other psykers.
They then use this knowledge to gather unsanctioned
psykers, whom they see as potential recruits to their
cause. The Cult’s manipulation of other psykers and the
unsanctioned psykers’ involvement in their schemes have
attracted the attention of the Inquisition.
The Inquisition views the Immortal Cult as a dangerous
heretical group, and they will stop at nothing to eradicate
them. The Cult’s actions have caused immense destruction
and loss of life on Necromunda, leading many to fear their
presence. However, rumours persist that the Cult has
spread its influence beyond Necromunda and that their
dark goals may have even wider-reaching consequences.
The fate of Necromunda and the Imperium hangs in the
balance, and it remains to be seen if the Inquisition can put
an end to the Immortal Cult’s schemes once and for all.
 CHRONO-CRYSTALS
Bald Bryen, the mayor of Rust Town on Necromunda, gives
out Chrono Crystals to those who can claim them from his
deadly maze. Winning the crystals is rare and earns the
winner Bryen’s enmity and possibly the attention of the
Ordo Chronos. Rumours suggest that the crystals are part
of a plot to bring about the Chrono-Cataclysm, but the
event’s nature is debated on Necromunda. Some say it is a
plot by the Immortal Cult, while others claim it’s a plan by
the ancient Iron Lords or House Aranthus. There are also
rumours that Bryen serves dark forces and that the Chrono
Crystals are part of a fiendish plot. However, others claim
that he is an agent of the Throne, and everyone is living in
6 an alternative reality created by the Ordo Chronos.
FORBIDDEN CITIES
The military tunnels that link the many hives of
Necromunda run deep beneath the ash wastes, cut into
the very bedrock of the planet. Under the hives, and linked
to this underground tunnel network, are cavernous storage
depots and bunkers, used for stockpiles of synthetic
XENOS STRANGERS
Xenos influence is ever present on the world of
Necromunda – not only are their weapons and wargear
smuggled in by Cold Traders and sold on various Black
Markets, but their exotic pets are also imported by House
Escher and Noble Houses. Even some Xenos races
themselves maintain a small, mostly hidden presence on
the Necromunda. This of course alert Ordo Xenos, as even
one Alien can bring collapse to the entire planet.
Below, are some of the known races that are found in
Necromunda:
ORKS
Ork raiders were responsible for the destruction of the
trio of Hives that now become known as the Skull. Some
remnants of the Orks still exist on Necromunda and often
loot Ash Wastes settlements.
GENESTEALERS
It is said that original Patriarch of the Second Sons
survived destruction of the Hive Secundus and to this day
is sending it’s children across the planet.

these places are the only source of the valuable drug
“ghast”, they have been secretly recolonised and are now
known as the “Forbidden Cities”. Only the nobles, with their
ability to call on the services of subordinate clans, techs
and paramilitary forces, have the diverse resources needed
to process the decayed corpse-starch into ghast.

As time creeps on, the cavernous vaults of the Forbidden

Cities are extended and embellished with the wealth
brought in by ghast. Pillared halls are cut from the rock,
and polished stones and mosaics adorn the floors, ceilings
and walls. Each has become a palace of archaic decadent
splendour. The Forbidden Cities’ workforce is pressganged
from the scum of the underhives, supervised and guarded
by savage undercity gangs.

The Inquisition, who are well aware of the dangers of the

drug ghast, will chase any rumours which would led to
discovery and destruction of even small Forbidden City.

THE HUNT FOR THE HELLHOUNDS
By David John Rosewell
THE HELLHOUNDS
The Hellhounds are a group of renegade PDF troopers
(formerly known as the Necromundan 666th Hellhounds)
who were based in the Ash Wastes on the outskirts of
Hive Primus. One day, they were visited by a mysterious
witch known as Kel’tor and he could see the frustration in
all their faces; they had been posted out in the wastes for
several hundred cycles without leave, left to rot. They had
grown restless and were hungry for some real action, but
most importantly of all, they had grown bored of serving
Lord Helmawr and the Imperium.
And so, Kel’tor began to sow the seeds of dissent,
promising them great power and reward in the name
of the Dark Gods. All they had to do was help him
bring Sector H8 of Hive Primus to its knees. Fuelled by
the witch’s words and promises, the soldiers rebelled,
abandoning their post and followed him into the depths of
the Underhive.
Once the Hellhounds reached Sector H8, it did not take
long for them to make a name for themselves. Under
the leadership of the ruthless Vokran (their former PDF
commander), they captured territory after territory with
their ferocity and brutality. However, little did the locals
know, that the Hellhounds were treading a dark path
indeed. It was not until during the Hacked Knee Power
Guild War (a conflict between the rival power guilds of
Sector H8), that the Hellhounds were finally revealed to be
followers of chaos after ritually sacrificing a captive.
7
BATTLE OF FOULNEST
Horrified by the Hellhounds appalling actions, the rival
gangs united, but before they could act, the heretics
vanished into the Badzones. Scouts were then sent out to
find them; eventually the Hellhounds were tracked down to
their new hideout called ‘Foulnest’. However, it was clear to
the scouts that cultists were planning something huge, as
a large altar was being erected in the centre of an eight-
pointed star. After hearing the scouts’ report, members
of the Veiled Cartel (House Delaque), the Savage Kittens
(House Escher) and the Slimehouse Golems (House
Cawdor) formed a coalition to stop the heretics.
By the time the coalition arrived at Foulnest, Kel’tor was
already performing some kind of nefarious ritual. They
ambushed the heretics with their superior numbers to
try and stop the witch, but the Hellhounds were far from
outnumbered with reinforcements of Negavolt Cultists
and Pox-walkers. Despite the distraction from the invading
gangs, the ritual was successful, and a monstrous Warp
Horror broke through a tear in reality.
However, just when it seemed the Hellhounds had the
upper hand, with the beast rampaging amongst the
ambushers, Kel’tor was gunned down. Seriously wounded,
he lost control of the monster; no longer under the witch’s
influence, the Warp Horror fled from the battle. This
turned the tide and after Vokran got blasted off a silo by
a meltagun beam, the heretics broke; many escaped, but
four of the cultists were captured.
 REQUEST FOR AID
After hearing about what had happened in Sector H8 and
the subsequent summoning of a Warp Horror orchestrated
by the Hellhounds, Lord Helmawr sent a request to the
Ordo Hereticus for aid. Inquisitor Ivár Mordred answered
Helmawr’s plea, telling the Lord of Necromunda that he
would send his best operative to Hive Primus. He chose
his young acolyte - Interrogator Cylena Yarija and tasked
her with tracking down and eradicating the remaining
Hellhounds, along with the accursed warp beast.
“Take whomever you need to compete this mission, this
is your chance to show me what kind of a leader you can
8 be.” said the Inquisitor. His expression darkened as he
continued “But understand this, failure is not an option.”
“I will not fail you, my lord, these heretics will be brought to
heel.” Cylena replied vehemently, unflinching at the threat.
ARRIVAL
The Interrogator and her companions (Magos Marhtôk,
Arco-flagellant Havok 2564, Fanatics Malak and Irina and
a Bound Heretic Psyker called Hâs’tyr) arrived in Sector
H8 thirty-four cycles after the events at Foulnest. They
were greeted by the local enforcers who had been holding
the four captured Hellhounds in custody, along with the
gang’s former Chirurgeon - Bärroth Vex. Cylena requested
to speak to him first, as his knowledge of the Hellhounds’
behaviour could prove useful. She offered him terms, either
join her retinue or be executed along with the captured
cultists. Bärroth accepted the Interrogator’s offer, he knew
some of the things he had done for the gang were far from
legal. Better fealty than death, he thought.
INTERROGATION
The four shackled, heretics were escorted into the
precinct’s interrogation chamber by several armed
enforcer officers. Cylena and Bärroth awaited them, along
with a baroque torture rack device that looked it was from
Terra’s pre-history.
The Interrogator smiled crookedly and turned to Bärroth
“Chirurgeon, you will help me get answers from these
whelps.” He nodded wordlessly as she continued “Once
they have spilled their secrets, I want them executed and
burned.”
Suddenly, the cultist called Jörgmund shouted out defiantly
“You’ll get nothing from us! Death to the False-Emperor!”
“Silence warp-filth!” snapped Cylena as she struck him.
“This one is first.” Two officers then grabbed the out-
spoken heretic and roughly strapped him to the torture
rack.
INQUISITOR IVÁR MORDRED
Witch Hunter Inquisitor Ivár Mordred has been
a member of the Ordo Hereticus for over two
hundred years. He is a brooding, outspoken,
zealous, and uncompromising man, willing
to use any means necessary to hunt down
his quarry. However, behind those deep-set,
piercing grey eyes, hides a sinister secret - he
is a devotee of the Xanthite faction. Although
Xanthites are predominantly of the Ordo
Malleus, it is not uncommon for Inquisitors of
the other Ordos to join their ranks.
He makes regular use of zealots, mutants,
alien mercenaries and even bound heretic
psykers. Of course, his choice of companions
and methods have caused much controversy.
Some of his peers have even labelled him as a
radical. Mordred denies these accusations and
proclaims himself a visionary, saying that these
are necessary tools in the fight against heresy.
He often calls his naysayers hypocrites and
points out, that they too employ questionable
means to hunt down their prey.
It did not take long for the prisoners to break, although
Jörgmund had lasted the longest of any of them. They had
all mentioned plans of rendezvousing in the Ash Wastes
should things go south. However, before Cylena and
Bärroth could dig any deeper for more details, each of
them had convulsed violently and died suddenly as their
hearts gave out; the whole thing smelled of witchcraft.
The Interrogator swore “Emperor damn these bastards!”
disgust written across her face.
“It would appear that Kel’tor had put a curse on them, to
prevent them from divulging too much information.” said
Bärroth as he examined the dead cultists.
“Emperor knows where they could be now.” Cylena replied
frowning. “But first, we need to deal with the hell beast.”
BANISHING THE BEAST
Reports had filtered through that the creature, dubbed
‘The Foulbeast’ by locals had been spotted on the
outskirts of the sector. The Interrogator and her followers
found the monster relatively quickly, inside a derelict
manufactorum. Foulbeast was a fitting name indeed, as
it smelled like rotting meat and was taller than an Ogryn.
A writhing nest of proboscis that drooled green ichor
made up the creature’s lower jaw and its left arm ended
in several lamprey tentacles. However, most disturbing of
all were the numerous fanged maws protruding from its
bloated belly.
“End this abomination now!” Cylena shouted; her features
curled in distaste. She turned to Havok 2564 and uttered
his trigger word “Extremis.”
Havok charged, spurred on a concentrated mix of
combat-stimms; he dived beneath the writhing tentacles
and pummelled the beast’s midriff and right arm with
his electro-whips. The Foulbeast spasmed as electrical
discharge surged through its body, Irina then stepped
in with her eviscerator, severing its tentacles; the beast
roared in pain and anger. A hail of las bolts from Marhtôk’s
multi-laser knocked it back a step and left smouldering
craters in its torso. Cylena and Bärroth fired flechette
and needler rounds into the thing’s face, the razor-
sharp projectiles embedding themselves into its eyes
and proboscis. Then Malak let-off a burst of burning
promethium from his fire pike, engulfing the warp horror
in flames. As the beast staggered around, Cylena un-
shackled Hâs’tyr and shoved him into its path. She yelled
at him “Banish it back to the warp, or I’ll have Malak burn
you alive!”
Hâs’tyr let out a breath and began to incant; the air took
on a greasy, waxy texture, as the barrier between reality
and hell-space thinned. A tear of strange un-colours
appeared behind the Foulbeast, and it left off one final
howl before it was sucked back into the warp. The wound
in reality closed and Hâs’tyr collapsed to the floor, blood
dripping from his nose. “It… It is done…” ´he said weakly
before Malak and Irina jumped on him and re-shackled the
psyker.
THE HUNT BEGINS
With the Foulbeast now dealt with, it was time for Cylena
to turn her attention back to the Hellhounds. It would
not be an easy task though, the information that she and
Bärroth had extracted from the prisoners was next to
useless. So, Cylena and her entourage secured transport
and made the journey to Foulnest in the hope they could
pick up the heretics’ trail.
They arrived at Foulnest a couple of days later. The place
looked like a warzone, with bullet holes everywhere. The
altar where the Hellhounds’ witch had summoned the
Foulbeast had been destroyed by the coalition after the
fight. It had now been forty-one cycles since the remaining
Hellhounds had escaped, but Cylena hoped that they
could still track the heretics with Hâs’tyr’s abilities. The
psyker stood before the broken altar, he could still see
the echo of the tear where the Foulbeast had appeared
and all around he saw the shadows of the souls of those
who died in the fighting. However, none of those shadows
appeared to belong to either the cult’s leader or the witch.
He followed their warp-taint, both had been dragged away
by several others, he counted ten heretics in total who had
escaped.
Hâs’tyr turned to the Interrogator and said “I have found
the direction the survivors took. It would appear that both
Vokran and Kel’tor survived, their paths lead this way.”
The psyker led them to a clearing that had been turned
into a makeshift landing pad, littered with discarded fuel
lines and tell-tale booster burn marks marring the ground.
“Their warp-taint stops here. It would seem they stowed 9
away on a transporter or something. It is impossible for me
to track them any further.” said Hâs’tyr.
Cylena cursed and rounded on the psyker, pointing her
sword at him. “Then what use are you to me now warp-
scum?” she snarled, causing him to back away in fear.
“Interrogator.” interrupted Marhtôk. “I believe I have
another way to track them, perhaps the enforcer precinct’s
cogitators could hold the answers we require.”
Cylena’s fury ebbed. “Very well Magos, we make our way
back to the precinct.” she said, returning her sword to its
scabbard and stalked back to their awaiting vehicle.
A NEW UPRISING
Marhtôk scoured the precinct’s cogitators and enforcer
network for any information that could tell him where the
mysterious transport ship had gone. He worked non-stop
for days, his multi-faceted machine eyes staring unblinking
into the streams of scrolling data, but he could still find
nothing.
As time went on, Cylena’s impatience grew, while the
Magos remained impassive; it had now been over two
months since the Hellhounds’ disappearance. However,
just as hope seemed to be slipping away for the young
interrogator, news filtered through that Gothrul’s Needle
was on lockdown. There was an uprising in progress, that
had been instigated by none other than Vokran himself,
who had somehow gained a seat of power! Cylena
chucked mirthlessly, clearly the power-hungry helot knew
nothing of the Ordo’s interest in him.
Cylena gathered her disciples. “It would appear that the
hunt is back on, we make for Gothrul’s Needle!” she said
with a wry smile.
To be continued…
 CYLENA YARIJA’S RETINUE
INTERROGATOR CYLENA YARIJA
Interrogator Cylena Yarija of the Ordo Hereticus has been
Inquisitor Ivár Mordred’s understudy for over 20 years.
She is just as uncompromising and zealous as he is and
like her master, she too is a secret devotee of the radical
Xanthite faction. Many would consider Cylena beautiful,
with her strong cheekbones, slender build, and long
legs. However, people should not be fooled by her looks,
10 as she is cold, detached, and well-versed in numerous
excruciating torture techniques.
She is dressed in a black leather bodysuit, red half-cloak,
and mesh armour with a large collar; under which she
wears an armoured undersuit. A refractor field gives her
added protection and she is armed with a flechette pistol
with witchbane ammo, a shivver sword and psyk-out
grenades. The sword was taken from a possessed Delaque
Nacht-Ghul who she had slain during a previous mission
in Hive Primus; She had been helping House Cawdor track
down and execute a cadre of possessed Delaque psykers.
MAGOS MARHTÔK
Garbed in cream and rust-red robes, the Magos is one
of Mordred’s longest serving disciples, he hails from the
now destroyed Forge World of Gryphonne IV. He pilots the
Interrogator’s ship, and his technical expertise will come in
handy while navigating around the Underhive. The heavily
augmented Marhtôk can also provide fire-support with
his multi-laser and carries a cog-toothed master-crafted
power axe, proof that he is not a slouch in close-quarters
combat either.
ARCO-FLAGELLANT HAVOK 2564
Havok 2564’s birthname was expunged after the convicted
heretic and serial-killer (from the Chonma Sector) was
sentenced to arco-flagellation by the Ordo. He has since
become Cylena’s bodyguard and is armed with a pair of
implanted electro-whips that crackle with caged lightning.
His trigger word is Extremis.
BOUND HERETIC PSYKER HÂS’TYR
The psyker was captured and bound to Mordred’s service
during a mission in Hades Hive on Armageddon to quell
a heretical uprising. The use of Hâs’tyr’s unsanctioned
psionic powers is one of the reasons why some members
the Ordo have labelled the Inquisitor as a radical. Despite
the controversy surrounding this shady, robed figure; a
psyker with his abilities will be needed to sniff out the
Hellhounds’ taint and banish the Warp Horror. His powers
are kept under control with the help of a nullifier-helmet
and anti-psy shackles.
DEACON MALAK ‘THE PYRE’
& ZEALOT IRINA ‘THE FURY’
The fanatical Deacon Malak and hot-headed Zealot Irina
are members from the Cult of Redemption known as ‘The
Scorched’. They were recruited during Cylena’s last mission
on Necromunda after their gang was decimated by the
possessed Delaque psykers. Their hatred towards witches
makes them perfect “handlers” for keeping Hâs’tyr in
check.
The muscular Malak wears a skull faced helm and
carries a deadly fire pike that is connected to a baroque
promethium container on his back. He also ritually covers
his hands ash of his slain foes. While the small, but fiery
Irina wields an eviscerator that is almost as tall as she as.
However, what she lacks in stature, she makes up for in
tenacity.
CHIRURGEON BÄRROTH VEX
Chirurgeon Bärroth Vex is Cylena’s most recent recruit,
formerly employed by the heretical Hellhounds. Although
some of the “procedures” he performed while in service
to cultists were certainly questionable, he did it for the
credits. However, the Chirurgeon drew the line after they
ritually sacrificed a captive and he cut all ties with the
gang. He wears a long, blood-stained surgical coat and
four mechanical limbs protrude from his back, each ending
in a different medical instrument. Bärroth also carries a
needle pistol and flensing claw and is followed around by a
dutiful medi-skull.

ORDO SEPULTURUM WARBAND
By Jonas Diem
ORDO SEPULTURUM
The Ordo Sepulturum, also called the Ordo Sepultura, is
an Ordo Minoris of the Inquisition. This Ordo is one of the
smallest and newest of the Ordos Minoris, formed during
the 13th Black Crusade. The focus of the Inquisitors who
comprise this Ordo is the relatively new threat presented
to the Imperium of Man by the emergence of the Plague
Zombies, the Nurgle-spawned Zombie Plague and
the Poxwalkers. The Ordo Sepulturm’s Inquisitors are
particularly dedicated to combating the Death Guard
Traitor Legion and its agents.
MATISSE CORBEAU III
Centrepiece of the Ordo Sepulturum group is Inquisitor
Matisse Corbeau III himself. A puritan follower of Sebastian
Thor’s teachings, he’s believing and investigating into the
possibilities of a so-called “resurrection virus”, or a “faith
virus“, which allows its infected to serve the Emperor even
in death – and even further, a solution to help the Emperor
finally leave his golden prison, making it possible for him
capable to physically ascend from the golden Throne
again in a new, stronger and more resilient body.
Because of his experiences with a multitude of plagues
and chaotic phenomena, Corbeau distrusts the flesh – At
the same time, he knows of the danger that comes from
13
warp-based diseases and plagues, so he is protecting
himself with an unique, sophisticated armoured suit,
breathing a special mixture of oxygen and anti-pathogenic
chemicals while its pumping sanitizing compounds
through his veins. This ancient relict, the Lazarus Armor,
appears to be an artifact from the Dark Age of Technology
and is also equipped with several kinds of force fields.
The Doctor is Corbeau’s right hand man when it comes
to his research – a Magos Biologis who is responsible
for examination and dissection of captured plague
zombies, main force to advance Corbeau’s research on
the Resurrection Virus. It’s not entirely clear how much
there’s left from the “original” doctor, as this body is his
13th or 14th incarnation, and within his robotic suit, he is
apparently much smaller on the inside.
The Doctor also helped reinforcing the Inquisitor’s combat
forces with multiple Automatas and Servitors. A multitude
of unique and experimental creatures are within these
rows: For example, a Sniper Servitor, a melee Combat
Servitor, as well as an ancient Thallax Automata, and lastly
“No.6”, also known as Double-Do, a unique Automata
usually used for reconnaissance. This little mechanical
critter is equipped with multiple scanning devices and
VOX to report any observations via Com link directly to its
handler.
 Corbeau’s second closest companion and leader of
most combat operations is Marquant, a chemically and
genetically enhanced Guard Veteran serving under
the Inquisitor, leading the Inquisitor’s “foot-soldiers“:
As one of the smallest inquisitional Ordos, the Ordo
Sepulturum doesn’t have the support of its own Chamber
Militant, and its Inquisitors do not always have the power
and possibilities to raise larger forces of Inquisition
Stormtroopers. That’s why some of them, like Corbeau,
maintain a private mercenary group. More often than not,
these are penal legionnaires, disgraced veterans or other
kinds of outcasts.

Buzzing red and blue lights were illuminating the
towering figure, Cryptoroaches flying through
the air, accompanied by the rotten stench of
pestilence and sewerage.
A faint groan came over the man’s lips as he
reached for his belt, fiddling around with the
holster to draw his pistol. His movements were
cumbersome, partly due to his imposing stature,
partly because of the restrictive armour he was
wearing.
All around him, the canals were filled with the
shambling forms of the mutated, disfigured
creatures, driven to insanity and violence by a
mysterious plague that had swept through the
Underhive. Their festering bodies were oozing,
smelling, and pulsating. Disgusted by the hideous
abominations, Inquisitor Corbeau raised his
Archeotech Laspistol and aimed at the nearest
Plague Zombie. A sizzling sound whispered
through the air, and the head of the mutant
exploded like a ripe cyst. Corbeau continued his
holy duty bestowed upon him by the Emperor and
he dispatched creature after creature with precise
shots, and if even one of them dared to come any
closer than a few meters, it was quickly mowed
down by the bolters of Corbeau’s acolytes. “We
are close!” Corbeau yelled with his grating voice,
pointing to the tunnel ahead. “Clean it!” A man
behind him mumbled some unintelligible words
towards the Servitor next to him, it slowly started
The last member of Corbeau’s group is a Calculus Logi,
keeping book over all these diseases and plagues that
Corbeau and his retinue has encountered over time. The
mathematical skills of the Calculus Logi also makes him
very useful on the field, as he can predict bullet line of
fire, enemy movement as well as other potential dangers
before they happen.
moving forward, raising its’ mechanical claws,
just to suddenly switch into a leaping sprint the
moment it’s lobotomized brain had processed the
information it just had received.
“Keep the Servitors away from me, Doctor. I don’t
want them to splutter any Blood or Pus on me.”
Corbeau hissed to the man. The Doctor nodded,
as far as he was capable to do so in his mostly
mechanical body and ordered another Servitor to
follow the first one.
Clanking and splashing sounds came from the
tunnel as the Combat Servitors were mowing
through the Plague Zombies that were tumbling
out of it. The absence of any voices or screams
made the whole spectacle much more eerie.
Braindead Servitors on the one side and chaotic
abominations on the other, none of them could
truly be called a living being.
After a while they were subsiding, the tunnel
floor was now filled with blood, weirdly deformed
innards and other remains of the dismembered
plague zombies, the Servitors towering over them,
waiting for the next command.
Corbeau gave a signal to his companions to enter
the huge metal tube, just to follow them in save
distance: “Time to level this disgusting pus-
hole…“ he mumbled to himself while moving his
heavy body forward.

THE INVESTIGATORS
By Kacper Kuc
ORDO XENOS
A small warband of the Ordo Xenos, consisting of only
three members, were sent to Necromunda, as one of
a few similar teams to investigate the Fall of the Hive
Secundus and Genestealer infection, that although
officially contained, still apparent in the depths of
the Underhives and on the Ash Wastes of the Xenos
Quarantine Zone behind the Dust Walls. The warband
(called “The Investigators” by unhelpful and cautious
authorities of the Palatine Enforcers) has been the secret
task of exterminating the Patriarch of the Hive Secundus
and eradicating all trace of Genestealer taint from surface
of the planet.
INQUISITOR HANS VORBEN
High Member of the Ordo Xenos, Inquisitor Hans Vorben
is a radical, who firmly believes that against the enemies
of the Imperium no weapon or tool is out of question, even
the ones of the Xenos origin. Operating on Necromunda
for more than 50 years, he is one of the few that are truly
aware of all the forgotten dangers of this industrial word.
His group is often seen in the Underhives, where he is
gathering traces of the Genestealer infection or hunting
Cold Traders. In his pursuit of getting close to the origin
of infection in the Hive Secundus, he is even rumoured to
work with Space Marines elements of the Imperial Fists,
located at the top of the spire of the Hive Primus
15
OTTO S. VON PERG
Magos Biologis, and member of the Investigators, Otto
S. von Perg is responsible for cataloguing and analysing
Xenos traces. A scientist, with more than two hundred
years of experience, he secretly knows, that it was
the actions of a Heretek Biologis, which brought the
Genestealer Curse to Necromunda. So, for now he is
working for Inquisitor Vorben, but when they will find the
way to reach the Lab-Vaults of Secundus, his personal
ambition will be put to the test.
VICUS LUREN
Former member of Imperial Special Forces, Sergeant Vicus
Luren was an orphan from a small mining world overran
by a Genestealer incursion, one of the few survivors, he
was secretly placed in the Schola Progenium, where he
then became a Tempestus Scion. It was his hatred towards
anything Xenos, which was seen by the Inquisitor Vorben
as a perfect tool and a guarantee, that Vicus would never
betray the Imperium for some alien cause or promises. As
for Vicus, he does not care that much about some higher
ideals, only to exterminate as many Xenos as possible
before he is consumed by rage and hatred. However, this
hatred is leaving him extremely vulnerable to the influence
of a certain Warp Entity.
 INQUISITION RULES
“Hatred is the Emperor’s greatest gift to humanity.”

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The Inquisition is a secretive and powerful organization
that operates in the shadows of the Imperium. In the world
of Necromunda, they are a force to be reckoned with,
and their influence can sometimes be felt throughout
the Underhive. With the following rules, players can
incorporate Inquisitors and their retinues into their
Necromunda games, or even represent internal politics of
the Inquisition, playing Warband vs. Warband scenarios,
just like in the Inquisitor54 game.
CREATING INQUISITOR
To create your Inquisitor, you must first choose their
faction, philosophy, which will determine their alignment
and available equipment. Additionally, your Inquisitor can
be accompanied by a retinue of henchmen, each with their
own unique abilities and equipment. These henchmen can
be chosen from a range of options, including Acolytes or
the classes described in the Creating a Warband chapter.
The choice of Inquisitors Philosophies and Alignment will
also carry on to their henchmen. Then, you will be able to
select their attributes, skills, and wargear, tailoring them
to suit your playstyle and strategy. Keep in mind that
Inquisitors are powerful figures, and their abilities should
reflect their status as agents of the Imperium.
THREE WAYS OF PLAYING
When playing with Inquisitors and their retinues, there are 17
three ways to incorporate them into your Necromunda
games:
ARBITRATOR’S CHARACTERS
In this mode of play, the Inquisitor and their retinue are
controlled by the Arbitrator, who will use them to interact
with the player-controlled gangs. This mode is ideal for
players who want to experience the unique challenges
and opportunities that come with facing off against an
Inquisitor.
ALLIANCE
In this mode of play, players can ally themselves with
an Inquisitor and their retinue. Players must invent the
agenda of the alliance and set rules when it will be tested
(following normal rules of other Allies, such as Guilds, and
they will be treated as Allies Delegation). The only benefit
of such alliance is that gangs can call the Warband for
help before the scenarios. Puritan Warbands can only be
allies of the Law-Abiding gangs.

INQUISIMUNDA
In this mode of play, players can pit their Inquisitor and
their retinue against other players’ gangs or against the
Arbitrator. This mode is ideal for players who want to test
their skills and strategy against other skilled opponents,
and it offers a unique opportunity to see how Inquisitors
and their retinues fare in direct combat. Using Warband
game Mode described later is advised.

ENEMIES OF A DAEMONIC ORIGIN

Throughout this book, the phrase “Enemies of a Daemonic Origin” or “Unholy Enemies” may appear
in the rules, usually when some wargear or ability only affects them. This is a catch-up term for
all the psykers, monsters and heretics with strong connection to the Warp and Chaos Gods or
who have been possessed by a Daemon. It is up to the Arbitrator to decide, whether a particular
character should belong to that category, as some of them are debatable (i.e. Eightfold Harvest Lord
is strongly hinted to be a Daemon, but it is not specified as one). Note that being a Psyker does not
automatically make you part of that category, but if the Psyker should roll for the Perils of the Warp
and become possessed it is automatically considered as an Enemy of Daemonic Origin.
 INQUISITOR’S RULES
When creating an Inquisitor, the player must first choose the Inquisitor’s Philosophy, Ordo and Operational Type. This
combination reflects various types of Imperial agents, from mighty warriors to powerful scholar-psykers. Throughout this
book, certain skills, items or warband members can be unlocked from a specific choice of the above attributes. Every
Acolyte in the player’s warband will inherit the Inquisitor’s Philosophy and Ordo, but an Acolyte’s Operational Type can
be different to their master’s Operational Type.

PHILOSOPHIES
Philosophies are ways by which an Inquisitor serves Mankind and the methods they use. Each Inquisitor must choose
main philosophy and sub- philosophy. Although Acolytes inherit the Philosophy of their master, they do not gain any
bonuses listed here, apart from access to certain wargear and skills locked behind certain Philosophies.

PURITANS
18 Puritans uphold the letter of the law and the dictates of
the Emperor, to the letter, as enforced upon the populace
and servants of the Emperor at large where possible. It is
they who uphold the widespread beliefs that permeate the
organisations of the Imperium and can be said to adhere to
the traditional values as preached by the Ministorum and
enshrined at the heart of Imperial Law.
Rules: This fighter can re-roll Cool checks and can never
be broken. In addition, Puritan Inquisitor gains the benefits
of one of the sub-philosophies listed below.
THORIANS
The Thorians seek ways that energy and consciousness
interact with the warp, and their transferral from one to
the other. They delve into the secrets of possession and
manifestation by daemons and other warp entities, trying
to decipher what rules govern the relationship between the
Warp and the material universe.
Rules: Once per battle, this fighter can cast a Wyrd Power
as a Free Action.
MONODOMINANTS
Monodominants are very militant and will resort to the final
solution of Exterminatus more than any other Inquisitors. They
use their presence to stir widespread xenophobia and hatred,
leading mobs of frenzied citizenry to purge their own ranks of
the filthy and unclean heretics who threaten their future. They
are utterly ruthless and unforgiving, inflexible, and intolerant.
They are generally the youngest and most hot-headed of the
Inquisition, charging across the Imperium leaving devastation
in their wake.
Rules: This fighter and any friendly fighters within 6” re-roll
wound rolls of 1.
AMALATHIANS
Amalathians work hard to root out factions and cults which
would destabilise and threaten the power of the Imperial
organisations, Imperial commanders, military leaders and
so forth. They openly and actively support these parties
and grant them tremendous leeway to protect their own
positions, where it does not threaten the status or power
of other organisations and individuals. They are very wary
of any change at all, and closely adhere to the dominant
beliefs of their time and society.
Rules: Gang which includes fighter with this rule add +1 to
the Priority rolls.
RADICALS
Radicals, in their favoured position as Inquisitors, feel they
are free to enforce the spirit and intent of the Emperor’s
Judgements, and it can be truly said that they see the
methods they employ to be secondary to the execution of
their duties and the achievement of their goals. They would
be considered heretics by the vast majority of Imperial
citizens for their behaviour, but we, as more knowledgeable
and wiser observers, can see there are powerful arguments
to support their views and methodology.
Rules: This fighter can never become Insane. In addition,
Radical Inquisitor gains the benefits of one of the sub-
philosophies listed below.
XANTHITES
Xanthites investigate all aspects of the Warp and Chaos,
investing its power into themselves where possible, destroying
it only when necessary. They will use Chaos-tainted artefacts,
daemon-weapons, books of Chaos lore and other heretical
items, utilising the powers and abilities of these weapons and
tools to combat the incursions of Chaos, heretics and aliens.
Rules: This fighter gain special save of 5+, which cannot
be modified by AP.
RECONGREGATORS
Recongregators attempt to destabilise the Imperial
organisations from the inside, replacing corrupt leaders and
men of power with people who have more radical views
and a will to change. Most are wary of too much upheaval
though, preferring not to destroy something utterly, but to
subtly change it and shape it to their will. Too much direct-
action risks bringing about the premature downfall of the
Imperium, and the commensurate disaster that that will bring.
Rules: If this fighter is part of the Crew, D3 fighters from its
Warband will gain the Infiltrate skill.
ISTVAANIANS
Istvaanians endeavour to propagate strife and conflict for
Mankind’s own greater future. Istvaanians fan the fires of
war and hatred so that Mankind will stay vigilant, that its
warriors will be skilled and ready, and so none will believe
that they have done all they can. They are a bombastic and
obvious creed, flaunting their warmongering ways, instilling
those nearby with fiery zeal to fight for themselves and
the rest of Mankind. They pit faction against faction, world
against world, so that the survivors will be stronger for it.
Rules: If this fighter is part of the Crew, D3 fighters from its
Warband will gain the Berserk or True Grit skills.
ORDOS
The Inquisition is divided into a series of organisations known as ordos. Each ordo is responsible for assessing and
combating a threat to humanity.
Inquisitor from specific Ordo will re-roll failed to hit rolls against target enemies of this Ordo and failed Willpower checks,
when targeted by Wyrd powers when attacked by such enemies. Acolytes will re-roll 1s when making these checks.

XENOS interests of its members are aligned towards the combating

Also known as the “Alien Hunters”, or the Order of the
Aliens, the Ordo Xenos are dedicated to investigating,
cataloguing and defeating the Xenos threat, the enemy
without. They actively seek out and eliminate alien influence
and corruption within the Imperium.
Target Enemies: Fighters and vehicles of alien origin or
non-Chaos beasts and animals.
MALLEUS
Known as the “Daemon Hunters”, or the Order of the
Hammer, the Ordo Malleus are sworn to defend the very
soul of Mankind, concentrating on the defeat of those
enemies of Humanity that dwell in the warp; the so-called
“enemy beyond.” They primarily concern themselves with
destroying Daemons and other servants of Chaos.
Target Enemies: Non-mortal fighters of Warp origin, or
mortals possessed by Daemons.
HERETICUS
This Ordo is also known as the “Witch Hunters”, or the
Order of the Heretics. The Ordo Hereticus is the scourge of
traitors, Witches, Mutants, rogue Psykers and heretics. The
of threats broadly classified as arising from within the great
bulk of Humanity; the so-called “enemy within.”
Target Enemies: Mortal fighters connected to the Warp or
Chaos, as well as all types of Cultists.
MINORIS
Whilst the three great ordos of the Ordo Majoris are 19
perhaps the best known and established, there are a
number of smaller ordos charged with guardianship of
particular aspects of the Imperium. Whilst in theory these
smaller ordos are of equal rank and power to the Ordo
Hereticus, Ordo Xenos and Ordo Malleus, in practice
they seldom control as many resources as these great
organisations. These minor Ordos are significantly smaller
than the main three, and are often formed to combat
specific, rather than broad, threats to the Imperium.
Target Enemies: Each Ordo Minoris was created with
specific enemy in mind. When choosing this Ordo, player
must create or use existing name for its Ordo and choose
one of the Fighter’s characteristics, which checks can
always be re-rolled – this represents extra training and
experience gained in fights against this enemy.

OPERATIONAL TYPES
Although having different Ordos or Philosophies, Inquisitors and their Acolytes usually fall into one of these three fighter
categories, represented as skill sets top choose from (described in fighter entries). The types are as follows:

MILITANT INVESTIGATOR
Militants are warriors first and foremost, who believes, that Investigators as the name suggests, are treating heresy
every problem of the Imperium can be solved with brutal and other dangers which hunts the Imperium, just as any
force. Mostly seen on the battlefields, but sometimes they other crimes – by collecting evidence, imprisoned suspects
bring their havoc to the places such as Underhive. and destroy any who resists. They mostly work in field
and in person, so even such hellish place as hives of the
SCHOLAR Necromunda are not uncommon to them.
These Inquisitors and Acolytes believes that knowledge is
a power and key to fighting enemies of the Imperium. They
are scholars not warriors, which does not mean, that they
cannot fight, just prefer to use mind not muscle to destroy
their foes. Most of them are also Psykers, due to their
enhanced mind abilities.

 CREATING A WARBAND
“Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”

Inquisitor Gorsvak del Sul, Ordo Hereticus

RETINUE
Each Inquisitor is often accompanied by a retinue of hand-picked specialist, warriors, psykers, veterans and acolytes, which
are usually reflecting the master’s agenda and philosophies. Puritans will surround themselves with nulls and religious
men to fight sin and malefic powers whenever they appear, while Radicals will not hesitate to hire (or force to submission)
enemies of the Imperium like mutants, heretics or even daemons bound in the human form, called Daemonhosts.
24
When creating an Inquisitorial Warband, the player must start with creating an Inquisitor (see page 18). Then he can add
extra members (usually up to four), choosing Acolytes (which represents a broad profile of typical characters) or used
ready characters from Extra Members’ table below. Each class can be represented by several existing profiles found in
Necromunda publications – it is up to the Player, which profile they choose. Some classes or characters are restricted
either by how many the Player can take, by specific Ordo or Philosophy. All of these fighters can access Trading Post and
the Black Market without restrictions.

There is no restriction on how much warband should cost – players should judge by themselves and keep the game
balanced and fun. But player should be aware, that Warbands can be quite unbalanced and should be careful, when
using them against normal gang. All the fighters below will retain their original rules unless stated otherwise, but
Hangers-on are treated as normal fighters – they can be always deployed and will not leave the gang after sustaining
lasting injuries. The Warband is treated as a Gang and Inquisitor as a Leader, but they will always roll D3 for Bottle
checks, rather than usual D6.

EXTRA MEMBERS

PSYKER / NULL
Astropaths, Wyrds and battle psykers are common sight
in the Inquisitorial Warbands, either detecting entities of
the Immaterium, nullifying demonic powers and cultist
witchcraft, or amplifying power of the Inquisitors, who may
be a potent psyker on their own.

CORRUPTED ONES [0-1]
Fanatical individuals who have embraced the power of
Chaos, only found in the retinue of Radical Inquisitors.
Corrupted Ones are often former members of cults or
heretical organizations, who have turned to the power of
the Warp for their own twisted purposes. They possess
a fanatical loyalty to their Inquisitor and will stop at
nothing to achieve their goals. Corrupted Ones can be
unpredictable and dangerous, but they can also provide
powerful abilities and access to forbidden knowledge.

combat experience to the Inquisitor’s retinue and are
often skilled in various forms of urban warfare. They are
well-versed in the use of various weapons, including
improvised weapons such as bricks and pipes. Ex-Gangers
are also familiar with the criminal underworld, making
them valuable assets for Inquisitors who need to gather
information or infiltrate gangs.

CUSTOM CLASSES
Character classes above are just suggestions and were taken from current Necromunda rules (as of
April 2022). In the future, there might be new characters fitting as members of a warband. This also
does not incorporate rules for vehicles, as it is not uncommon for a warband to venture to the Ash
Wastes. Players can create their custom classes, but should remember, that:
• All new classes must be approved by the Arbitrator.
• It should be noted if this class member should have a limit of how many you can include in
warband.
• Is it available to all, or it should be locked by philosophy or Ordo.
• Balance should be kept in mind. Necromunda is a Narrative game, but there are limits of what is
fun and what is not.
 WARBAND GAME MODE
“Damnation is eternal.”

Warband Game Mode is a new way of playing scenarios in the Necromunda Underhive. This mode is best suited for a
Dungeon Crawler/RPG style scenarios, where each player controls only 1-4 models facing off against Arbitrator NPCs.
This mode also offers an exciting and immersive experience that is perfect for multiplayer scenarios where all campaign
players play together. Moreover, it is also ideal for playing Inquisitorial Warbands, whether it is Warband vs Warband or
Warband vs Environment. This game mode slightly modifies base Necromunda Rules, allowing the fighters to survive
more, when players want to create more story-driven campaign/scenario instead of our classic gang warfare.

ADDITIONAL RULES
29

RECOVERY AND FLESH WOUNDS SPECIAL ACTION: STITCH-UP

Recovery does not cost Flesh Wounds when successful,
and players roll one additional dice for Recovery (so
two dice in normal circumstances, 3 with assist, etc.).
NO BOTTLE CHECKS
In this mode, there are no bottle checks.
INJURY DICE
Fighters have a special action available to them called
“Stitch-up” (Basic).
STITCH-UP (BASIC): Non-engaged fighters can
try to stitch-up their wounds mid-battle. When this
action is performed, the fighter recovers one Wound
or Flesh Wound. Additionally, the fighter can try to pass
an Intelligence check. If successful, it will recover two
Wounds or two Flesh Wounds instead.

When a fighter is wounded, on the Injury Dice, Flesh This action can be performed by a fighter on itself or
Wounds are ignored, Seriously Injured counts as Flesh friendly fighter within 1”, any fighter can only be affected by

lowered by 1. If this made them have a 0 Toughness, they
cannot participate. The Coup de Grace action deals D3 Flesh Wounds
instead of Out of Action.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STORY

Warband game mode was introduced to allow the players to use smaller groups of fighters in multiplayer
scenarios or for warband games resembling Inquistor54 sticking as much as possible to original
Necromunda Underhive rules. If players would like to get even more immersion from this mode, here are
some suggestions to make it even more interesting:
• Modify certain scenarios to adjust for smaller number of fighters.
• Allow certain important enemies, such as Cult Leaders, Chaos Beasts etc. to also use the rules above.
• Modify existing items to better represent their purpose on this smaller scale (such as my modification
of the Medipack).
• Add extra types of actions, preferably incorporating Necromunda least important stats: Willpower,
Leadership, Intelligence and Cool.
 CAMPAIGN SUGGESTIONS
“Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.”

Campaigns already available for Necromunda are not well suited for players wanting to play Inqusitor54 like campaigns,
where only Warbands are present. For that, I suggest following things:

•  rbitrator is almost must-have for such campaigns, as

A •
they will be even more narrative-focused and closer to the
RPG games than normal Necromunda ones. Some kind of
balance is also needed, as some Warbands combination
could be too much for other players to have fun.
30 • Immersion should be priority, so players should
preparer maps, lore snippets about specific places,
important characters. Handout maps will also help
in that. For those, who would like to delve into the
lore of Necromunda or to find new ideas, you can
check my other fan-made creation called: Book of the
Inspirations.
As for Tactics Cards subplots and various other non-
compulsory Necromunda mechanics: they should be
added or created carefully, not to overload players with
too many choices.
• I suggest keeping the campaign to 3-4 linked
scenarios, unless Arbitrator has idea for a bigger
adventure.
•  he use of NPCs for various characters and monsters
T
is heavily advised. Adversaries should also be adjusted
for the specific Ordos to which Warbands belong.

SCENARIOS IDEAS
Necromunda already has plenty of Scenarios to choose from, but most of them are not optimised for playing with only a
few models. Nevertheless, they can serve as a framework for the custom ones or work well even for smaller Crews. Here
is the link to a list which I created, which consists of all the scenarios and where to find them since the first release of the
Confrontation (predecessor of the Necromunda). Furthermore, below I put the list of 20 simple ideas for the scenarios for
Inquisitorial scenarios:

THE PURGE THE INTERROGATION

obstacles that may arise along the way.
THE SIEGE
The Inquisitor and their retinue must defend a fortified
position against waves of attackers, which could be rival
Inquisitors, gangs, or mutated beasts.
THE INFILTRATION
The Inquisitor needs to infiltrate a heavily fortified gang
hideout or a rival Inquisitor’s stronghold. The players must
sneak past guards, avoid detection, and gather valuable
intel.
THE NEGOTIATION
The Inquisitor needs to negotiate a delicate agreement
with a gang leader or another faction in the Underhive.
The players must navigate a complex web of allegiances,
power struggles, and potential double-crosses to achieve
their goals.
THE RACE
The Inquisitor and their retinue are participating in a
deadly race through the twisting tunnels and perilous
terrain of the Underhive. The players must use all of their
skills and wits to outmanoeuvre their rivals and claim the
prize.
THE BET
The Inquisitor and their retinue must participate in a high-
stakes game of chance or skill against a rival Inquisitor,
gang leader, or other powerful figure. The players must
use their resources and influence to stack the odds in their
favour and come out on top.
THE INFECTION
The Inquisitor discovers that a dangerous plague or virus is
spreading through the Underhive, threatening to wipe out
EXTRA ACTIONS
In campaigns using Inquisitors, some of the Necromunda’s
forgotten fighter characteristics, which means Leadership
and Intelligence, and to a lesser extent Willpower and
Cool can be put to use. Below I present set of extra action
available to fighters which will allow the characteristics to
be more common sight in the game.
MENTAL SCANNING (BASIC): This action is
available only for Psykers. When performed, the fighter
must pass a Willpower check. If successful, this fighter
gains an Overwatch skill for the duration of the next
Round.
entire populations. The players must find a cure or a way to
contain the outbreak before it spreads too far.
THE TRIAL
The Inquisitor and their retinue are accused of a crime or
wrongdoing and must stand trial before a powerful court
or council. The players must defend themselves against
accusations and present evidence to prove their innocence
or gain a favourable verdict.
THE REVENGE
The Inquisitor seeks revenge against a rival Inquisitor,
gang leader, or other powerful figure who has wronged
them or their retinue. The players must plan and execute
a daring and potentially deadly attack to strike at their 31
enemies’ weak spots.
THE RITUAL CLEANSING
The Inquisitor uncovers a nest of mutants or cultists that
have infested the Underhive, threatening the purity of the
Emperor’s domain. The players must conduct a thorough
and brutal cleansing of the area, using fire and sword to
purify the taint.
THE DESCENT
The Inquisitor and their retinue must descend deep into
the twisting tunnels and caverns of the Underhive, where
dangers lurk around every corner. The players must
navigate treacherous terrain, face off against mutated
beasts and other deadly creatures, and discover the
secrets hidden deep beneath the surface.
NO RETREAT (BASIC): The Fighter must pass
a Leadership check. If successful, this fighter gains the
Leading by Example special rule until its next activation
and is treated as a Champion for the purpose of it.
HACK TERMINAL (BASIC): Sometimes valuable
data is hidden in forgotten terminals, especially in the
enemy territory. When within 1” from any terminal or
screen, a fighter may pass an Intelligence check. If
successful, this fighter will gain 1 Experience Point. This
action can only be performed once per terminal/screen.
 DAEMONOLOGY
“Carry the Emperor’s will as your torch, with it destroy the shadows.”

DAEMONOLOGIST SPECIAL ABILITY

If an Inquisitor only selects power from the Daemonology Discipline, they gain
Banish the Beast special rule:

Banish the Beast: Once per battle, at the start of a Round, this fighter can
“In the name invoke a sacred chant. Until the end of this Round, Fighters of daemonic
of the Holy nature (such as Eightfold-Harvest Lord, Possessed Hivers etc.) treats their
Emperor,
32 seven saints Strength and Toughness as 2 lower when within 6” of this fighter.
of Solmoncia,
I banish you
Daemon from
this world.”
Inquisitor Ardax,
DAEMONOLOGY DISCIPLINE
Ordo Malleus Inquisitors, especially Ordo Hereticus and Malleus ones often master arts of banishing
Daemons and breaking heretics who draw their powers from the Warp. Some Daemons are
too strong opponents in hand to hand combat, even for Militant Inquisitor Lords and must be
weakened first, before being banished back to the Immaterium.

1. Sanctuary (Double), Continuous Effect: The Inquisitor creates sacred force field,
protecting them and their allies from harm. While this power is maintained, the Inquisitor and
every friendly Fighter wholly within 6” from has special save of 4+, which cannot be modified
by Armour Piercing, and is rolled in addition to any other kind of armour save Fighters might
have, even against attacks, which normally does not allow saves to be made (such as Gas or
Web). If Fighters successfully pass this save, they will not become Prone and Pinned when hit.

2. Dark Excommunication (Basic): The Inquisitor starts chanting exorcism and duelling
essence of the Daemon, trying to break its will and banish it back to the Warp. Choose enemy
Fighter of daemonic nature (such as Possessed Hiver) in 12” and Vision Arc of the Inquisitor.
Both Fighters roll D6 and add their respective Willpower value (in example D6 roll of 3 and
Willpower of 10+ results in 13). If Inquisitor’s result is lower, their opponent immediately goes
Out of Action. If it is higher or a tie, the Inquisitor loses 1 wound without any kind of save
allowed and becomes Prone and Pinned.

3. Hammerhand (Basic), Continuous Effect: The Inquisitor draws power from the Warp
and enhances their strength to unhuman levels. While this power is maintained, Inquisitor’s
Strength is increased by 3 until it’s next activation. Furthermore, whenever an Inquisitor is
performing Charge (Double) action, they can try to pass Initiative test. If passed, this power
can be manifested as a Free Action before Charge is being performed.

4. Burring of the Soul (Basic): The Inquisitor attacks opponent’s soul and brings them to
their knees in a wave of unbearable pain. Choose enemy Fighter in 12” and Vision Arc of
the Inquisitor. Both Fighters roll D6 and add their respective Willpower value (in example
D6 roll of 3 and Willpower of 10+ results in 13). If Inquisitor’s result is lower, their opponent
immediately becomes Prone and Seriously Injured.

5. Word of the Emperor (Basic): Channelling power into single holy word, an Inquisitor
terrifies sinful and the damned. Choose enemy Fighter within 6” of the Inquisitor. This enemy
immediately becomes Broken.

6. Vortex of Doom (Double): The Inquisitor creates small rift in the reality itself, as a last
resort weapon. Choose a visible point on the battlefield in 12” and roll to hit. If successful,
every Fighter, friend or foe within 3” from this point must pass Initiative test. If failed, the
Fighter will go Out of Action. If the hit misses, roll a Scatter dice and 2D6 – scatter this point
that many inches. If however, the hit roll is an unmodified 1, place this point directly above
Inquisitor base.

GRENADES

The three types of grenades presented below are extremely hard to come by and usually reserved for the highest-ranking
members of the Inquisition. How such things even come to the Underhive remains unknown.

Psyk-out grenades 37
The rarest grenade in the Imperium, the Psyk-Out Grenade is rumoured to be produced from a psychic by-product
collected from the Emperor’s Golden Throne. Used mostly by the Culexus Assassin temple, it is only useful against
beings with psychic powers, but can kill such a being instantly.

Range Acc
Weapon S L S L Str Ap D Am Traits
Psyk-out grenade Sx3 - - - 3 - 1 5+ Grenade, Blast (3”), Limited,
Hexagrammatic, Psyk-out

Psyk-out: Psykers or enemies of a Warp-based origin hit by this weapon must immediately pass a Toughness check. If
failed, they go Out of Action.

Stasis grenades
The Stasis Grenade is a very rare type of grenade used only by the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus and a few other
select Imperial special forces. The stasis grenade “traps” any units in its area of effect, rendering them incapable of doing
anything. This is because the grenade possesses a Stasis Field generator that essentially generates a time-loop, causing
time to repeat itself within the grenade’s area of effect.

Range Acc
Weapon S L S L Str Ap D Am Traits
Stasis grenade Sx3 - - - - - 1 - Grenade, Blast (5”), Stasis,
Single Shot

Stasis: Mark the area under the blast. Every fighter caught under the blast will be frozen in time immediately as well as
everyone who will enter this area later. These fighters are immune to all attacks and effects, but cannot move or interact
in any way as long as the Stasis field will be turned off. In the End phase, roll a D6 for each stasis field. If the 6 is rolled,
the Stasis field will disappear and all fighters which were affected by it immediately become Prone.

Hallucinogen grenades
A Hallucinogen Grenade fills its area of effect with an invisible hallucinogenic gas, causing anyone breathing it in
to experience visions which may have various effects on them, from nothing to running from the field screaming to
believing an alien worm is crawling up their leg.

Range Acc
Weapon S L S L Str Ap D Am Traits
Hallucinogen grenade Sx3 - - - - - - 5+ Grenade, Blast (3”), Gas,
Hallucinogen, Limited

Hallucinogen: Fighters wounded by a weapon with this trait apply following effects instead of normal damage. Type of
effect is determined by rolling a D3:
 1. Enemies everywhere: This fighter immediately performs Shoot Action against closest Fighter (friend or foe) with
weapon chosen by enemy player. After that, it becomes Broken, as if it would fail the Nerve Check.
 2 . You’ll never get me!: This fighter immediately performs Charge Action against the closest Fighter (friend or foe).
After that, it gains Insanity condition.
 3. Suicide: This fighter immediately makes a single attack with its strongest weapon against himself (either ranged or
close combat). This attack hits automatically. If it survives, the fighter becomes Broken and gains Insanity condition.
 Haywire grenades
Haywire grenades affect any item of electrical equipment within their area of effect, including all energy weapons, power
and shock weapons, suppression shields, force fields, etc. This also includes bionics, scanners, targeters and other
pieces of equipment. Such items simply cease to function within the haywire field.

Range Acc
Weapon S L S L Str Ap D Am Traits
Haywire grenades Sx3 - - - 1 -1 1 5+ Grenade, Blast (3”), Haywire

Haywire: Any fighter caught in the blast cannot use any wargear or weapons that use electricity (las weapons, refractor
fields etc.) until the end of the turn. Power weapons will lose the Power trait. Finally, when the vehicle is hit by such
weapons, the player should roll a D6. On a 5+, the vehicle becomes Immobilised immediately.

ARMOUR RULES
38

POWER ARMOUR (MAX 1 PER GANG/WARBAND)

Power Armour is an advanced form of powered combat armour, worn primarily by the Space Marines and the Heretic
Astartes, though suits have been created to be worn by mere mortals. It is a completely enclosed suit of combat armour
composed of shaped adamantium and plasteel plates, encased in a ceramite ablative layer. Each suit possesses a full suite
of life-support functions for operation in hostile environments, an automated medicae system to provide some level of first
aid to a wounded wearer and a highly advanced and fully integrated tactical targeting and threat analysis system known
as auto-senses. Whilst power armour is most commonly associated with the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, the
Sisters of Battle and many Inquisitors also use powered armour of one sort or another. Typically, however, these armours
may not contain the same strength-enhancing properties or life-support functions of Space Marine power armour, nor do
they always provide the same level of protection or mobility.

The wearer of the power armour has a 3+ save, which cannot be combined with any other armour enhancing wargear,
such as armoured undersuit. In addition to that, a fighter equipped with power armour gain’s Nerves of Steel skill, as well
as is treated as being equipped with Full-Servo Harness, Hazard Suit, Industrial Respirator, Bio-booster, Photo-Goggles,
and Stim-slug stash.

WARGEAR RULES
This section contains a full list of new Wargear rules. When purchased from the fighters’ list apply restriction listed in
brackets.

EMPYREAN BRAIN MINES

Empyrean Brain Mines are weapons used by the Ordo Malleus of the Inquisition. Based on captured technology found on
Ghost Worlds. Upon the triggering of the mines, they latch onto their victim and send a pulse of energy directly into their
brain, momentarily paralysing him and giving the wielder a chance to strike. However, the mines’ energy cells are prone to
burn out after a few seconds, making the effect temporary.

Fighters making an attacks or reaction attacks against fighter equipped with Empyrean Brain Mines must pass an
Initiative test with -1 modifier. If failed, they will suffer -2 penalty to all their hit rolls. (Ordo Malleus Only)

ULUMEATHI PLASMA SYPHON

A strange device created by a xenos race on the Eastern Fringe of the galaxy, the Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon is a rare
form of defensive technology employed only by the Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos that can destabilise Plasma Weapons.
Each Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon consists of an array of alien power crystals that generate a distorting resonance on the
frequencies of energy used by most Plasma Weapons. This resonance wave causes Plasma Weapons within the short
range of the Plasma Syphon to fire much more wildly, making them all but impossible to aim and keep on target, or make
them lose their energy more rapidly so that their shots dissipate harmlessly in the air.

Attacks made with plasma-based weapons against a fighter equipped with the Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon and all other
fighters within 3” are treated as having their Strength and Damage lowered by 1. (Ordo Xenos Only)
PSYOCCULUM
A Psyocculum is a device carried by Witch Hunter Inquisitors which allows them to see psykers in any light, sensing their
position through their psychic powers rather than truly seeing them.

A fighter equipped with the Psyocculum ignores all negative to hit modifiers when targeting Psykers or enemies of
Warp-based origin. (Ordo Hereticus Only)

CONSECRATED SCROLLS
Consecrated Scrolls are used by the Ordo Malleus. They often come in groups of scrolls and are treated with sacred oils.
They are covered in illuminated scriptures that aid the bearer with psychic attacks as well as repelling denizens of the warp.

Fighter equipped with the Consecrated Scrolls have an unmodified save of 5+ rolled in addition to normal save against
psychic powers attacks and Warp-based ones, such as daemonic flame or Warp Ammo. (Ordo Malleus Only)

EMPEROR’S TAROT
The Emperor’s Tarot (or Imperial Tarot) is a pack of seventy-eight psychoactive liquid-crystal wafers that are linked to the 39
thoughts of the Emperor. The Tarot, commonly believed to have been designed by the Emperor himself, is used throughout
the Imperium as a form of divination.

A fighter equipped with the Emperor’s Tarot can generate at the start of each battle (before generating scenario) one
power from the Divination discipline (see page 55 in the Necromunda Book of the Outcast). This power does not break
any of his psychic discipline special abilities. (Psykers Only)

SACRED INCENSE
Sacred Incense, used by the Ordo Malleus, is carried in a brazier taken from the censers surrounding the Golden Throne
itself. This brazier produces a minor holy region around the bearer, causing foes of the Emperor to check their advance
towards it.

Psykers and enemies of the Warp-based origin will subtract -2 from Charge range rolls when targeting a fighter equipped
with the Sacred Incense. (Ordo Malleus Only)

GRIMOIRE OF TRUE NAMES

A Grimoire of True Names is a book in which is inscribed the true names of all the daemons encountered and recorded by
the Ordo Malleus. Knowledge of a daemon’s true name grants some measure of power over that daemon. True names are,
however, usually completely alien and very nearly unpronounceable.

A fighter equipped with the Grimoire of True Names can attempt to reveal the name of the Daemon it is currently
fighting. When within 6” of any enemy of Warp-based origin the bearer my pass a Willpower check. If passed, the
targeted Daemonic entity has their Strength, Toughness and Movement lowered by 1 until the end of the game. This
invocation can be only used once per enemy. (Ordo Malleus Only)

LIBER HERESIUS
The Liber Heresius is an artefact tome first laid down during the Age of Apostasy that has grown to contain the wisdom of
thousands of Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors. By properly interrogating its pages, the reader can gain wisdom that enables them
to predict and counter the strategies of renegades and traitors before their schemes come to fruition.

A fighter equipped with the Liber Heresius can gain one skill from one of their Primary Skill sets for the duration of the
battle. If fighting against a Chaos-based gang (Chaos Corrupted, Helot Cultists, Corpse Grinders etc.) it can gain two
instead. (Ordo Hereticus Only)

TOME OF VETHRIC
The Tome of Vethric is a tome of the Ordo Xenos. First inscribed by the famed Inquisitor Macavius Vethric, this book
contains the record of every alien encountered by the Imperium. In the millennia since Vethric’s death, the tome’s contents
have been annotated and expanded to the point where it now stands as the Imperium’s most complete work on xenos
strategy and contains a wealth of countermeasures for even the most nefarious alien race.

A fighter equipped with the Tome of Vethric can gain one skill from one of their Primary Skill sets for the duration of the
battle. If fighting against a Xenos-based gang (Genestealer Corrupted, Genestealer Cults etc.) it can gain two instead.
(Ordo Xenos Only)
PSYBER-EAGLE (EXOTIC BEAST).............................70 CREDITS

Psyber-Eagles are mechanical birds which serve as the aids to Inquisitors, agents of the

 DAEMON WEAPONS
“Doubt forms the path to damnation.”
Mainly used by the radical Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus,
the daemon weapons are weapons that have been imbued
with some kind of Warp entity. These artifacts are weapons
of the great power, but this power comes at a dangerous
price: the bound Daemon cares neither for mortal frailties
nor limitations, and will rebel if its bearer does not use it
for constant slaughter or the fulfilment of whatever the
Daemon deems to be its own personal goals.
42

weapons available to the fighter (in most cases these
should be Melee ones, but with the permission of the

Before each time the fighter wants to use the Daemon
Weapon, it should roll a D6. If the number is equal or lower

Lesser Daemons and 3 for Greater Daemons), the player
must roll the Willpower check. If failed, the bearer gains
the Insanity condition.

 CHAPLAIN TIBERIUS
Chaplain Tiberius is a member of the small Imperial Fist contingent and guardian of the Chapel
in their sanctuary on Necromunda. He is a veteran member of the Chapter, serving as an advisor
to both the Imperial House and the Inquisition, when dealing with the most dire threats on the
planet. His true purpose is in fact not known to the outsiders, as the main reason of the presence
of Chaplain Tiberius is to supervise recruitment process, as Necromunda is one of the recruitment
worlds of the Imperial Fists. For those reason, he sometimes ventures into the lower Hab Levels, the
Underhive or even the Badzones, which he traverses, hidden by the darkness in search for the most
hardened and suitable recruits. He often tries to remain in the shadows, not to disturb locals or rise
panic and fruitless tries of retaliation. But sometimes, during his journeys he is either disturbed by
some suicidal local scum, or even encounters a real foe of the Imperium, such as Xenos Beast or 45
a Chaos Cult. In this case, he will make sure that no evil will leave his path alive. In extremely rare
cases, he will join Inquisitorial Warband, fighting for the common cause, but those Inquisitors should
make no mistake – for the Space Marine, there is only one Imperial Truth and one Imperial justice
– and any radical inquisitor who would foolishly think, that he could use the Chaplain for his own
twisted gains would be killed seconds after such a heretical though.

 UNHOLY ENEMIES
“An unprotected soul can no more cross the storms of the warp than a heretic can bear the gaze of the Inquisition.”

Necromunda is a treacherous planet, rife with danger and corruption. For the Inquisitorial warbands who operate there,
as well as some foolish gangs who have wandered into the wrong Badzone, the challenges are multiplied. Not only must
they contend with the gangs and other factions vying for control of the Underhive, but sometimes, they may walk into
true enemies of the Mankind. Xenos cults, agents of Chaos, forgotten beasts, psykers, Daemons and Warp entities, these
are the things against which Inquisition were created.

In this chapter, we introduce a range of new adversaries that threaten to plunge Necromunda deeper into darkness. But
there are already several existing adversaries which are perfect to use as enemies against the Holy Order. In brackets,
I specified in which book the rules for them can be found:
47
•  orpse Grinder Cults: Necromunda is a dark and brutal world where cannibalism is a necessary part of life. The
C
Corpse Grinder Cults are a product of this necessity, as they are charged with recycling their fellow hivers into corpse-
starch. These cults often start within the ranks of the Corpse Guilds and are led by a deranged individual who draws the
gaze of the Blood God with their cannibal madness. The cult grows in secret, and when they are ready to rise up, they
emerge from their hidden fanes in their thousands. [Book of Ruin]
•  ecromunda Criminals: Narco Lords, Cold Traders, Rebel Lords, Rogue Factoria, Imperial Impostors and the Psy-
N
syndica. Normally, they are the problem of the Enforcers, and rarely the Arbites, but sometimes a particular group is
so dangerous (most commonly the Psy-syndica), that it raises the interest of the Inquisition. [Book of Judgement]
•  ogue Psykers: Rogue Psykers are Human Psykers that now belong to the Forces of Chaos. Many have eluded
R
either the Inquisition’s Ordo Hereticus or the Adeptus Astra Telepathica’s League of Black Ships and have become
tainted by the Gods of Chaos, a process which drives the psyker completely insane. [Outcasts Champion from the
Book of the Outcast]
•  elot Chaos Cults: Helot cults, a form of Chaos cult, are common in the depths of Necromunda’s hives, where
H
they offer the promise of power to desperate and bitter helot workers. They gather in secret, hoarding weapons, and
fashioning symbols of their faith. The cult leaders are a caste apart from their followers, seeking personal power and
using the cultists as disposable weapons. [Book of Ruin or use Chaos-corrupted gangs]
•  enestealer Cults: The Genestealer is a perfectly crafted organism whose sole purpose is to infiltrate and subvert
G
populations of entire worlds. On Necromunda, the threat of the Genestealer is synonymous with Hive Secundus,
where an entire hive fell to the subversive influence of an alien cult. The Necromundan planetary defence regiments
have succeeded in defending the Dust Wall, a defence perimeter erected around Hive Secundus ruins, but disturbing
tales regarding hidden and insular clannish ash crust miners, remote drilling station communities, and sump sea oil
riggers regularly reach the hives carried by guilder caravans and nomad traders. Sometimes, the tale is not the only
thing which reach the Hive with these individuals. [Book of Ruin or use Genestealer-corrupted gangs]
• P
 ossessed Hivers: Many undiscovered psykers unknowingly use their powers, opening themselves to the dangers
of the Warp. Untrained psykers risk possession by foul entities that invade their bodies, leaving them trapped and
helpless. The lucky ones die quickly, while others can host the Daemon for many years, growing stronger over time.
[Book of Ruin]
•  enos Abominations: Necromunda is not safe from the presence of xenos infiltrators. Some come as visitors and
X
are tolerated, while others are brought in through insidious means. Millions of alien beasts are smuggled in each year
for various purposes. In addition, some aliens have been breeding in the shadows for generations, with dark agendas
of destabilization or a desire for survival and prosperity. [Book of Ruin]
•  rainleaf zombies: A strange plant known as the Brainleaf use its spores to take control over the victim’s body,
B
turning them to mindless thralls. [Book of Peril]
• H
 ereteks: Tech-priests who have turned away from the Omnissiah and now use forbidden knowledge to create
abominations. [Book of Ruin or use Chaos-corrupted Van Saar gang]
• B eastmen: Humanoid creatures who possess both human and animal traits. Beastmen warriors due to almost
constant oppression are often forced into worshipping the Chaos God. [This Book]
• W  arp Horrors: Most outlaws fear the terrifying Warp Horror, which is seen as anathema to all hivers, including those
loyal to Lord Helmawr and criminal scum. However, Chaos cults see them as a great boon and the creatures have
unique powers and abilities due to being genuine creatures of the Immaterium. They come in many shapes and sizes,
defying the laws of nature, and indicating their otherworldly origins. [White Dwarf 458]
• M  utant Ogryns: These simplistic Abhumans often fall into the worship of the Ruinous Powers. The servants of Chaos
also sometimes forcibly conscript Ogryns into their ranks. Known as Ogryn Brutes, the servants of the Dark Gods will
utilise crude surgical procedures, forbidden combat drugs and sorcerous rituals in order to control the beasts and set
them upon their enemies. [White Dwarf 458]
 VAMPYRES
Vampyres are present in many tales and legends, dating back to old Terra. They are described as nocturnal bloodsucking
humanoids, almost immortal and feasting on blood and life essence of living creatures. Citizens of Necromunda are very
superstitious, so most of the victims killed by so called “Vampyres” were in fact killed by some form of mutant, heretic
witch or hive noble searching for blood and organs. But some Palanite Enforcers’ reports about strange Wyrd gatherings
and Blood Cults got the attention of Lord Helmawr. They mentioned atypical kind of Wyrds, invulnerable to most form
of damage and corpses sucked dry of blood. Realising, that true Vampyres exist on Necromunda, the Inquisition was
informed, and agents were dispatched to hunt them down.

M WS BS S T W I A Ld Cl Will Int

SPECIAL RULES
48 Bloodsuckers: The vital force of living creatures, be it blood or their life strength, are main source of food and power for
Vampyres. Whenever a wound is lost or an injury dice is rolled as a result of this fighter’s close combat attacks, it can
either restore one wound or discard one Flesh wound.

Undead creatures: Vampyres are almost immortal. This fighter ignores all Seriously Injured results and his first Out of
Action result.

Lightning-fast reflexes: Vampyres, thanks to their unhuman strength and speed, are almost impossible to hit and can
cross big distances in a matter of seconds. This fighter has a save of 4+, which is never modified by Armour Piercing and
each time it activates, it can perform up to 3 actions. Moreover, this fighter can pass an Initiative check to avoid being hit
by Blast or Template weapon.

Mind control: This fighter is an Unsanctioned Psyker as described on page 75 of Necromunda Rulebook. It can draw
two powers from the Telepathy discipline (see page 59 of Necromunda Book of the Outcasts).

PLAGUE ZOMBIES
Plague zombies are victims of a virulent and deadly infection known as the “Zombie Plague” or the “Curse of Unbelief”,
which is spread by the minions of the Plague God Nurgle. Not only do the afflicted die as the result of the disease but they
return as undead, mindlessly devoted to adding their former comrades-in-arms to their number. The Zombie Plague is
one of the many foul contagions spread by the followers of Nurgle. It is a combination of a Chaos infection and a physical
malaise. The plague degenerates those it infects, although a portion of the victim’s life essence is retained by the body even
after physical death has occurred. The disease is a spiritual contagion as much as a physical one - afflicting those lacking
in utter faith.[6] Plague zombies act like archetypal zombies - mindless, shambling and cannibalistic; they are hard to kill
and generally require a traumatic blow to the head to kill them. It has been observed that some Psykers appear to be able
to control the actions of the zombie hordes.

51
SPECIAL RULES
Undead: Plague Zombies cannot be Pinned and automatically pass any Cool checks they are required to take and
ignore all Injury dice results except Out of Action. A Plague Zombie that has been taken Out of Action is not removed
from the board and instead counts as having suffered a Seriously Injured result. In the Recovery phase, Seriously Injured
Plague Zombies stand back up, recovering from their injuries but taking no other action. The only way to remove a
Plague Zombie from the battlefield is by making a Coup de Grace action against it while it is Seriously Injured.

Plague Zombies subject to the Blaze condition are not automatically Broken and cannot attempt to put out the fire.
Plague Zombies can only take a single action each activation and move 2D6” when taking a Move action. However,
should their movement take them into base contact with an enemy, they are considered to have made a Charge action
and immediately make an attack.

Zombie Plague: Fighters taken Out of Action by a Plague Zombie are roll 2D6 instead of rolling for the Lasting Injuries:

2 Lost: Zombie infection takes Fighter away. Its misery is ended with a round to the head.

3-4 Last chance: Treat this result as Critical Injury, but the Doc fee cost 3d6x10 Credits.

5-8 Cut it off: Roll a D6 – this is the second dice of a D66 roll, the first is automatically a 5. Apply the

appropriate result from the Lasting Injuries table.

9-12 Lucky: Roll on the Lasting Injuries table as normal (see page 87 of the Necromunda Rulebook).

EQUIPMENT
Clubs (or guns used as clubs) or fists and teeth (count as unarmed attacks).

SKILLS
A Plague Zombies have no skills.
 DAEMONS
Daemons are the creation of the Gods of Chaos, formed from their own essences. Of a somewhat different nature than their
masters, they are the most numerous of the Warp’s inhabitants and are thought to be near-infinite in number. A Daemon
is “born” when a Chaos God expends a portion of its power to create a separate being, binding a collection of senses,
thoughts, and purposes together. This essentially creates a consciousness and personality that can move within the Warp.
The Chaos God can reclaim this form at any time, and this ensures the loyalty of the Daemon. Not all Daemons act entirely
in accord with their masters, but even the greatest of them would not dare outright defiance. Though it may appear to
be made of matter in the Materium, within the Warp a Daemon is no more physical than the rest of the Realm of Chaos.
Although extremely rare, there are instances of some desperate Cultists tried to summon Lesser Daemons in the Underhive.
Even though such a creature usually is not able to survive for long, they are terrifying monsters, who will scare most of the
gangers and scums by their mere presence.

SPECIAL RULES
52 Terrifying: If an enemy fighter wishes to make a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action that targets a Warp Horror, they
must make a Willpower check. If the check is failed, they cannot perform the action and their action ends immediately.
Note that, as the action has not been performed, and if the fighter’s activation has not ended, they may attempt to make
the same action again. If fighters with this rule would be the only targets hit by a blast or template weapon, the fighter
must make the Willpower check as well.

Warp Denizen: In the End phase of each round, roll 2D6. If the result is equal to or lower than the current game round,
the Warp Horror suffers a Flesh Wound.

Daemonic save: All Daemons have a save of 4+ which can never be taken off or modified, can never become Broken,
Pinned, or Insane. This fighter is also immune to the weapons with the Web, Toxin or Gas. traits.

BLOODLETTER
Bloodletters are the Lesser Daemons of Khorne, eager foot soldiers that form the core of his vast legions. Bloodletters
possess bestial, snarling faces and wiry, crooked bodies surrounded by a reek of gore, and skin the colour of blood. Like all
of Khorne’s creatures they are formidable and ferocious warriors, among the deadliest in the galaxy with savage ferocity
and being daemons, their strength is far out of proportion to their body mass. Each Bloodletter is a natural master of
combat, borne of constantly fighting their brethren in the warp when not killing enemies on the battlefield.

Savage charge: This fighter treats Charge Action as a Basic Action and is treated as having a Bull Charge skill when
doing so.

FLESH HOUNDS
These canine Daemons exist to hunt down the enemies of Khorne. They are tireless predators that possess a crimson skin
as durable as mesh armour, massive claws, and teeth, as well as amazing speed.

DAEMONETTE
Daemonettes are Lesser Daemons of Slaanesh. Daemonettes appear as both beautiful and repulsive to those who look
upon them. Their bewitching opal eyes and enchanting aura veil their androgynous features and grotesque claws, revealing
an alluring appearance the beholder will always consider the epitome of beauty. Depending on the situation, Daemonettes
can be gracious and swift warriors, using their razor-sharp claws when violent force is necessary, or subtle messengers and
seducers who will haunt the dreams and nightmares of their victims.

Bewitch: This fighter can perform a Bewitch (Basic) action. If it does, choose a single enemy fighter within 6”. This
Fighter must pass a Willpower check. If failed, it is treated as being hit by a photon-flash grenade and failed an Initiative
check.
PLAGUEBEARER
Plaguebearers are the Lesser Daemons of Nurgle. Unlike other Daemons that are born from a tiny piece of a Chaos God’s
power splitting into a separate being, Plaguebearers are born from the energy of mortal souls succumbing to Nurgle’s Rot.
These daemons have gangling, bony limbs, their bodies swollen with decay, so much so that glistening innards are exposed
through rents in their skin. They possess a single, cyclopean eye and a single horn rising above their haggard, drawn faces,
and their bodies are covered in filth and parasites. Despite the Plaguebearer’s unusual appearance, they are supernaturally
resilient to harm, the gifts of their master having inured them to all pain. Plaguebearers are constantly surrounded by clouds
of droning flies and chant monotonous hymns, their gait a staggering lope.

Plague resilience: A Plaguebearer reduces all damage it suffers by 1, to a minimum of 1.

PINK HORROR 53
Horrors are the writhing Lesser Daemons of Tzeentch. Tzeentch creates almost all of them as cheerful, madly babbling
Pink Horrors. Apart from their bright colouration, Pink Horrors are also notable for their madly happy demeanour; their
constantly emitted noises of almost ecstatic excitement give rise to the two other names by which they are sometimes
known; the Squealer or Screamer. This inherently random noise, especially when Pink Horrors appear in groups, is said to
be particularly unnerving, able to drive the weak-minded to insanity. To add to the cacophony of sensory perceptions, Pink
Horrors leave trails of pink smoke and light behind them as they move; and they move constantly, running, scampering
and caterwauling all over the place. Pink Horrors enjoy casting spells, and such aggressive acts will only spur them onto to
wilder behaviour and greater expressions of manic excitement.

is immune to the Perils of the Warp.

BLUE HORRORS
A Pink Horror splits into two smaller Blue Horrors when its body is destroyed. While these two are just as powerful as their
former Pink self, Blue Horrors tend to squabble endlessly among themselves as their cheerful nature is reversed with the
splitting, their principle character traits being sadness and incessant whining.

Psyker: A Blue Horror has the Unsanctioned Psyker rule and can choose one Wyrd Power to have. Moreover, this fighter
is immune to the Perils of the Warp.

BRIMSTONE HORRORS
Just as a dying Pink Horror splits into two lesser incarnations, a slain Blue Horror will split once more into a pair of
Brimstone Horrors. Named for a stench so strong it offends even other Daemons, these diminutive Warp creatures may look
bright and whimsical, but they are in truth spiteful and vindictive.

 NURGLINGS
Nurglings, also known as Mites of Nurgle, Little Lords, or by their daemonic name “Khan’gurani’i”, are small Daemons that
are born in the entrails of the Great Unclean Ones. Just like their parent Daemon, they are shaped after Nurgle himself.

modifying rules presented below or using Possessed Hiver profile found in the Necromunda Book
of Ruin.

MUTANTS
Mutants are creatures bearing some form of severe genetic deviance from the normal members of their species. Some
are born mutants, while others have suffered more spontaneous mutation through the influence of the Warp, whether by
worshiping it or being exposed to its energies. Persecuted and hunted by Imperial society, Mutants often make up the
forces of Chaos or hide deep in the Underhive. There are two types of mutants:

action. Otherwise, the fighter gains +1 Attack on their profile. Additionally, any fighter with an Extra Arm may carry
a fourth weapon and may attack with three weapons with the Sidearm and/or Melee traits rather than the usual two.
• Animal legs: This Fighter increases its Movement characteristic by 1.

Initiative checks when hit with weapon or grenade with Flash special rule.
• I rradiated: This Fighter is completely immune to the effects of the Rad-Phage trait, while Gas and Toxin traits will

BEASTMEN
“And in that time of darkness, Man became Beast, And Beast became Man.”
CHAOS BEASTMEN
Beastmen are destined to become the outcasts of Imperial
society. They are shunned and are often hunted down
and killed as the Imperium has little tolerance for any who
deviate from the perfection of the baseline human form
in mind or body. Mutation is considered a heretical crime
against the Emperor of Mankind by Imperial authorities
because of its connection to sympathy with or worship of
Chaos.
As creatures of the Warp, these bestial warriors often
fall to the service of Chaos as members of the Lost and
the Damned as a means of escaping the persecution of
Imperial society or are lulled into the service of one of the
four Chaos Gods due to their inherent nature as creatures
of Chaos. The Ruinous Powers look upon Beastmen with
special favour, and Chaos “gifts” are often granted to those
Beastmen who become Champions of Chaos even though
they may serve no specific Chaos God.
Imperial Proverb
BEASTMEN ON NECROMUNDA
Beastmen are not an uncommon sight in the grim and
gritty industrial world of Necromunda. They are often
found living in the most dangerous and squalid parts of
the Underhive, where they scavenge for food and shelter.
Due to their physical prowess and natural ferocity, some
Beastmen have formed gangs in the Underhive, using their
bestial traits to their advantage in the brutal gang warfare
that plagues Necromunda’s depths. These gangs are often
composed of other outcasts and mutants, who share their
desire to survive and thrive in a world that has cast them
aside.
Some even hire Beastmen as mercenaries, seeing their
strength and durability as valuable assets in the never-
ending battles of the Underhive.
TZAANGORS
True to the Changer of the Ways, the Beastmen of
Tzeentch, known as Tzaangors, are spectacularly bright
of colouration and sharp of intellect. Their beaks clack as
they chant blasphemous refrains in their Dark Tongue, with
gimlet eyes glowing in their aquiline skulls. Their hunger
for knowledge stems from a desire for power, and even
in battle they look to transcend their base existences by
seeking out arcane artefacts and priceless texts.
In serving their Sorcerer masters, they may earn the
chance to elevate themselves above their earthly stations,
but in truth such occasions are rare, for a streak of cruelty
lurks within the warlike soul of every Tzaangor. When given
the opportunity, they will take their ire out on those who
oppose them in inventive displays of blade-work or, when
they put aside their artistic pretensions for the gratification
of raw brutality in a gory display of violence.
BLOODGORS
Those Beastmen who serve the Blood God Khorne are
known as Bloodgors or Khorngors. The signature of
Khorne is writ clearly upon the form of the Blood God’s
Beastmen. They have canine heads or faces, fierce
snapping jaws, and teeth which drip with rank saliva. Their
skin or fur is usually red, and their eyes are all white with
red pupils.
PESTIGORS
The Pestigors, the Beastmen of Nurgle, have blistered and
broken skins, often red with cracked flesh and sores which
have been given to them by their generous master. Their
fur is matted and coarse, and their bodies are riddled with
all kinds of disease.
Yet they retain the morbid vigour that characterises their
master so their afflictions in no way mar their battle-
worthiness. The Mark of Nurgle is carved into their
armour, daubed upon their clothes, and sometimes etched
onto their skin by the path of disfiguring disease. Many
Beastmen of Nurgle carry Nurgle’s Rot, although thanks
to their loyalty to Grandfather Nurgle, that terrible arcane 59
disease will not affect them.
SLAANGORS
Beastmen of the Chaos God Slaanesh, known as
Slaangors, have white or near-white fur and pale or pastel
skins. Their eyes are green and are sometimes saucer-like
in a similar way to those of the Daemonettes. The Mark of
Slaanesh appears somewhere on them, painted onto their
hides, or carved into their armour, a bracelet or neck collar.
Many of Slaanesh’s Beastmen have the head or horns of a
bull (known as Bovigors) just like the Greater Daemon of
their patron god.

Khorngor Champions often have fur, which is especially

impressive, either bright red, black with red flecks, or
a strange metallic brassy colour. If the Beastmen has
horns these may be twisted into the shape of the skull-
like rune known as the Mark of Khorne. The same rune
is often painted or burned onto their skin or fur and can
be tattooed onto their exposed foreheads. Beastmen of
Khorne always fight in their own units, although they can
be led by a Beastman Champion so long as he does not
follow any other Chaos God.

Beastmen of Khorne hate enemies who are mortal

followers of Slaanesh, including Beastmen who follow that
patron. They also hate all enemy Chaos Sorcerers. They
do not hate enemy Shamans who also follow Khorne, as
they cannot cast sorcerous spells but have the power to
nullify psychic abilities. Their hatred only applies to enemy
troops, never to allies, even if they are followers of another
Ruinous Power.
 BEASTMEN RULES

AS A GANG MEMBER
There is only one universal profile created for the Beastman, which can be used, as a special
type of Ganger for Chaos Helot Cult or Outcasts gangs. There must always be 3 other
fighters with Gang Fighter rule per each Beastman added in such way to the gang.

Only one Beastman per gang at any time can have the Shaman upgrade.

AS A HANGER-ON
“Shoot it down!”
Last words of Outlaw and Outcast gangs can recruit Beastman as a Hanger-on. This fighter use Beastman
60 Ulrich, Clan profile. Beastman hired this way will gain this rule:
Orlock Road
Boss
Part of the Crew: Unlike other Hangers-on, this fighter is always ready for a fight. As long
as this fighter is part of the gang roster, they are treated just like a regular Ganger for the
purposes of selecting a crew. Therefore, this fighter may be chosen or randomly selected as
part of their gang’s starting crew just like any other Ganger.

However, just like any other Hanger-on, this fighter cannot gain any Experience or
Advancements and, should they suffer a Lasting Injury that would make a change to their
Fighter card, this fighter is removed from the gang roster just like any other Hanger-on.

Beastmen recruited by Genestealer Cults or Genestealer-corrupted gangs can buy Third Arm
upgrade for 35 credits.

CHAOS MARKS
Beastmen which are part of Chaos corrupted gangs (either Helot Cults or Corrupted
Houses) can be devoted to one of the four Ruinous Powers, increasing their cost by the
number shown in brackets. There are several restrictions to which marks can be given to
whom:

• Beastman Shaman cannot have a Mark of Khorne

• Marks can be given only to Beastmen recruited for Chaos Helot Cults or Chaos-
corrupted gangs. Corpse Grinders can recruit only Beastmen with the Mark of Khorne.

The marks and benefits are as follows:

•  ark of Khorne (+40 credits): This fighter increases their Attack characteristic by 1 and
M
gains the Rain of Blows skill.
• Mark of Nurgle (+50 credits): This fighter increases their Wound and Toughness

ADEPTUS ARBITES
“You are far away from your law and safety of the Dust Falls’ walls.”
LEX IMPERIALIS
The Adeptus Arbites is the adepta of the Adeptus Terra
that serves as the galactic police force of the Imperium
of Man, responsible for enforcing Imperial Law (the Lex
Imperialis) on all Imperial-controlled worlds. The Adeptus
Arbites have been granted the right by the High Lords
of Terra to serve as judge, jury, and executioner for any
Imperial citizen they discover having broken Imperial Law.
Unfortunately for many Imperial citizens, the concept
of due process is not one that generally applies in the
Imperium.
However, in those cases where Imperial Law is unclear
or the law breaker has committed a truly heinous deed or
is of unusually high-ranking stature, the offended will be
taken back to an Arbites Precinct House for judgement
by an Arbites Judge, the sentence to be carried out
immediately. Imperial justice is swift and sure, but not
always just.
Redwart the Magnificent, Scavvy King
ARBITRATORS
From the Adeptus Arbites come the fearsome Arbitrators.
Also sometimes incorrectly known as “Judges” amongst
the general populace of the Imperium (this term actually
refers to a specific Arbites rank), these men and women
are stoic in their duty and unquestionably loyal to the
Imperium. Inquisitors often go to the Adeptus Arbites when
in need of a trustworthy Acolyte who is trained to think on
their feet, combat-hardened and beyond reproach in their
faith in the God-Emperor.
Where civil unrest and crime threaten the stability of
a world, the Arbitrators are in the field; unflinching,
overseeing the local Enforcers, and hunting down the
rabble-rousers to restore law and order.
The Judges’ methods are varied, not unlike the way
Inquisitors go about their work. The means used can
be different depending on their mentors, what Schola
Progenium the individual attended and other such factors.
However, unlike Inquisitors who have their own private
agendas, all members of the Adeptus Arbites have the
same goal and responsibility -- to uphold the Emperor’s
justice. Some Arbitrators openly investigate and make no
secret who their quarry is, even if they are of noble birth
or high rank. This can often lead to overt hostility between
the Judge and his subject, although there is no question
who off-world forces of the Imperium would side with
should they be requested to attend.
This is by no means the only mode of investigation; other
officers of the Adeptus Arbites are quite methodical in their
approach, meticulously sourcing evidence and questioning
contacts and witnesses.
The relationship between the Inquisition and the Adeptus
Arbites is often one of the more cordial within the Adeptus
Terra. Arbitrators often see working with Inquisitors as a
way of further enforcing justice.
However, such arrangements have not always worked
so well. It has been known for Judges to turn on the
Inquisitors they have been seconded to serve if they
perceive the Inquisitor to have broken sacrosanct Imperial
laws. This means Inquisitors of the more Radical factions
must be wary when recruiting members of the Adeptus
Arbites to become their Acolytes.
DUTIES AND POWERS
Although the Adepta’s headquarters is the Hall of
Judgement on Terra, the Arbitrators are stationed on
almost every advanced Imperial world in fortified fortress-
precincts. Arbitrators are recruited from the Adeptus
Ministorum’s Schola Progenium facilities (the Ecclesiarchy’s
schools for the orphans of Imperial servants who have given
their lives in the Emperor’s service) across the Imperium.
In the event of a planet-wide collapse of Imperial control,
the Arbites can decree martial law and take control until a
suitable military command can be established, generally
under an Astra Militarum force. Even in circumstances that
are not as extreme, Arbitrators have legal power over most
of the people in the Imperium.
They are authorized to arrest, interrogate, and execute
planetary, sub-sector, or even sector governors should
the occasion warrant it, and can do the same to officers
of the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy (although
custom dictates that they must seek permission from the
Commissariat, the organisation responsible for enforcing
military law in the Astra Militarum).
65
PRECINCT FORTRESSES
The Arbitrators operate out of massive precinct-fortresses,
located within capital cities in close proximity to the
planetary governor of major Imperial worlds. Sprawling
hive cities may also have their own Courthouse Precinct to
aid in large scale monitoring.
They are severe, utilitarian buildings with black armoured
walls as thick as a military bunker. Their towering shapes
exude an air of menace, frowning down on the other
buildings nearby and the citizens who hurry fearfully past.
Though each precinct varies based on the needs and
environment of the world it is built on, many include
the same basic elements: billets for the Arbitrators, an
extensive armoury to ensure they are well-equipped for the
job at hand, secure cells in which to detain suspects ready
for questioning or trial, and a court of judgement where
guilt and punishment is determined.

ENFORCERS AND ADEPTUS ARBITES

Feared throughout the galaxy, the Adeptus Arbites are responsible for enforcing Imperial law across
the entire Imperium. Only concerned with interplanetary criminals and enforcing the Lex Imperialis,
their remit is far above that of the street-level Enforcers. The trivialities of gang warfare are so beneath
them that they probably would not even acknowledge the existence of any issues in the underhive
unless they threaten to become planetary unrest.

As long as Necromunda remains loyal to the God-Emperor and the Imperial tithe is paid on time, the
Arbites let Lord Helmawr run the planet as he sees fit. While a ganger may have several run-ins with
Enforcers, the chances of them ever seeing an Arbitrator are slim. Those who do better hope that they
have made their peace with the God-Emperor, because it means they have committed a crime so
heinous that there is only one sentence.

In most cases, the Adeptus Arbites and the Inquisition view Enforcer cadres with some suspicion, if not
outright distrust, concerning their competence, loyalty and professionalism, often with good reason.
 IMPERIAL LAW
Unlike the members of the Inquisition, the Arbitrators (also
sometimes called Arbiters) of the Adeptus Arbites are
unable to freely judge or sentence other Imperial citizens
at will. The only mandate an Arbitrator is sworn to uphold
and enforce to the letter is formally known as the Dictates
Imperialis, the laws of the Imperium as set by the Adeptus
Terra; local laws are not the Arbitrators’ concern, nor do
they fall under their jurisdiction, and those are left to be
enforced by local law enforcement agencies.
Any crime which concerns the Arbites is already severe,
and the usual punishment is death, either through
immediate execution or the delayed death sentence of
66 conscription into a Penal Legion of the Astra Militarum.
The common Imperial citizen has no legal right to a trial
beyond the judgment of an Arbitrator once the Arbites are
called in to deal with a crime. Other punishments include
public lashings, and death by burning in the case of certain
religious heresies.
With the permission of the Ecclesiarchy, for crimes of
heresy or crimes conducted by an Adeptus Ministorum
priest who has abused their office, the sentence is usually
that of Arco-flagellation.
ADEPTA ORGANISATION
The overall leader of the Adeptus Arbites is the Grand
Provost Marshal, who represents the Arbitrators on the
Senatorum Imperialis as one of the High Lords of Terra.
Below the Grand Provost Marshal are the senior Arbites
officers known as the “Marshals of the Court” who oversee
sector-spanning administrative jurisdictions that are called
“Precincts.”
Below the Marshals of the Court, the Arbites are internally
divided into two primary divisions; the Judges, who
deal with actual legal matters and the application of ten
thousand standard years of Imperial Law to criminal
and civil cases, and Arbitrators, the paramilitary law
enforcement arm of the Arbites who perform the work
necessary to apprehend and punish those who break the
dictates of the Lex Imperia.
Arbitrators and Judges operate in parallel organisations
within the Adeptus Arbites, though the two separate
organisations join at the highest ranks when senior Judges
and Arbitrators are raised to become Marshals of the
Court. Senior Arbites fulfil both roles, with Judges getting
their hands dirty apprehending criminals in the field, and
Arbitrators learning to preside over lengthy court trials.
WARGEAR
Often operating in dense urban environments, Arbites
are equipped with combat shotguns and bolters
with Executioner rounds; this is a type of special bolt
ammunition with homing capabilities.
They are also generally armed with Shock Mauls for melee
combat, Electro-Net launchers and pulse-charged bolas
for capturing perpetrators alive, grapplehooks and stingers,
and escorted by cybernetically-enhanced Cyber-Mastiffs
for hunting hidden lawbreakers.
67
 ADEPTUS ARBITES GANG LIST
When founding an Adeptus Arbites gang, players will have a maximum budget of credits to
spend on fighters, weapons and Wargear chosen from the entries on the following pages.
How much this budget is will depend upon whether the gang is being founded for Skirmish
play or Campaign play. In either case, this budget may not be exceeded. Any unspent credits
will be added to the gang’s Stash if the gang has been founded for Campaign play. However,
if a gang has been founded for Skirmish play, any unspent credits are simply lost.

CAMPAIGN PLAY
When founding a gang for Campaign play, the budget available is 1,000 credits. Note,
however, that should they wish, the Arbitrator can increase or decrease this budget.

The only reward SKIRMISH PLAY

for treason is When founding a gang for Skirmish play, the budget available should be agreed upon by the
death.
68 players. This can be as much or as little as they think appropriate, but as a general guideline
a budget of between 1,250 credits and 2,000 credits is recommended.

FIGHTER NAMES, CATEGORIES AND TYPES

Each type of fighter available to an Adeptus Arbites gang is of a named type: this is the
name given to that fighter’s rank within the gang hierarchy in the parlance of their kind.
In addition, each has a category listed in brackets. For example, a lowly gang fighter is
an Adeptus Arbites (Ganger). This indicates that within this gang such fighters are called
‘Scavvies’, whereas within the rules of the game, this fighter is a ‘Ganger’.

Very often the rules will refer to fighters by category (Leader, Champion, Prospect, Ganger
or Juve, for example). In such cases, the rule is universal to all such fighters, regardless
of their type. At other times the rules will refer to a fighter by their specific type, Adeptus
Arbites for example. In these cases, the rule is specific only to fighters of that type.

GANG COMPOSITION
The first step is to choose and purchase the fighters that make up the gang. The Adeptus
Arbites gang list details all of the fighters available to the gang. These fighters are purchased
by paying the credits cost shown in their entry from the budget available. All Adeptus
Arbites gangs must always follow these rules:

• There must be one fighter with the Leader special rule.

• The total number of fighters with the Gang Fighter (X) special rule in the gang must
always be equal to, or higher than, the total number of fighters without the Gang Fighter
(X) special rule combined, not counting Hangers-on or Hired Guns.

Should it occur during the course of a campaign that the number of fighters without the
Gang Fighter (X) special rule exceeds the total number of fighters with the Gang Fighter (X)
special rule, the controlling player must either:

•  etire a number of fighters without the Gang Fighter (X) special rule during the post-
R
battle sequence in order to correct the imbalance.

Or:

•  ecruit fresh fighters with the Gang Fighter (X) special rule during the post-battle
R
sequence in order to correct the imbalance.
WEAPONS AND WARGEAR
The next step is to choose and purchase the weapons
and Wargear each fighter will be equipped with. Each
fighter’s entry in the Adeptus Arbites gang list includes
a detailed list of the weapons and Wargear that fighter
may purchase.
EQUIPPING A FIGHTER
All fighters can be equipped as follows:
•  fighter can be equipped with a maximum of three

weapons purchased from those listed in their entry.
• W
 eapons marked with an asterisk (*) take up the space
of two weapons.
• A

their entry.
•  eapon accessories marked with a dagger (†) may

not be combined together on the same weapon. If one
such accessory is purchased for a weapon, another
may not be added.
If the gang is being founded for Campaign play, fighters
will be limited to equipment listed in their entry, whereas
fighters in a gang founded for Skirmish play may also have
access to some items of equipment from the Trading Post
and Black Market. This should be agreed upon by the
players.
NEW EQUIPMENT
During a campaign, gangs may gain new equipment,
either by purchasing it from the Trading Post or Black
Market, or as a result of Boons. These items are added to
the gang’s Stash and may be distributed among fighters
during any post-battle sequence:
•  ny fighter may discard any Wargear they are

discarded in this way is placed in the gang’s Stash and
may be given to other fighters.
•  o fighter may discard a weapon. Underhive gangers
N Law-Abiding gangs are in use, an Adeptus Arbites gang is
become attached to the tools of their trade and would
rather hoard weapons than discard them.
FIGHTER CARDS & GANG ROSTER
Finally, a blank Fighter card should be completed for
each fighter when they are added to the gang; the
characteristics of the fighter and any equipment they now
have should be noted down in the appropriate sections of
the Fighter cards. A gang roster sheet is also completed
for the gang as a whole.
EQUIPMENT SETS
In most gangs, senior gang members are able to maintain
a cache of weapons that allows them to equip themselves
appropriately for each battle. This is not the case for
Adeptus Arbites gangs; most of the fighters are simple
creatures that become attached to one or two favoured
weapons. This is especially the case with Adeptus Arbites
Weapons, which are literally attached to the fighter and
cannot be set aside, even for a single battle. No fighter
in an Adeptus Arbites gang can have more than one

characteristic, selected from among those fighters that

• If the gang contains no fighters with the Gang Hierarchy
(X) special rule, the fighter with the highest Leadership
characteristic must be selected from among the remaining
gang members.
If two or more eligible fighters have the same Leadership
characteristic, use Advancements as a tiebreaker; if there
is still a tie, the controlling player can decide which fighter
will become the new gang leader.
When a fighter is promoted in this way, they gain the Gang

ASSAULT SHIELD
An assault shield grants a +2 armour save modifier (to a maximum of 2+) against melee attacks that originate from
within the fighter’s vision arc (the 90° arc to their front), and a +1 armour save modifier against ranged attacks that
originate from within the fighter’s vision arc; check this before the fighter is placed Prone and is Pinned. If it is not clear
whether the attacker is within the target’s front arc, use a Vision Arc template to check – if the centre of the attacker’s
base is within the arc, the assault shield can be used. Against attacks with the Blast trait, use the centre of the Blast
marker in place of the attacker. If the target does not have a facing (for example, if they are Prone), the assault shield
cannot be used.

WARGEAR
BIO-SAMPLE EXTRACTORS
Bio-sample extractors are used to collect evidence from fallen enemies of the law. When a fighter equipped with a bio-
sample extractor performs a Coup de Grace action on an enemy fighter, it will gain 1 Evidence Token (2 if this enemy
fighter was a Leader or Champion). If by the end of the battle, player will gather 3+ Evidence Tokens, it will add D3 to its
Reputation.

SOULGUILT SCANNERS
Soulguilt scanners are used by Adeptus Arbites to search in their database to see if a subject is already under observation
or already marked as a criminal to be hunted. When a fighter equipped with soulguilt scanners performs Coup de Grace
action on an enemy Leader, Champion, Brute or other fighter more important than an average ganger, it can make an
Intelligence Check. If passed, the player adds D3x10 Credits to their Stash, and will add +1 to the Capturing Fighter’s roll.

NUNCIO-AQUILA
Sometimes Proctors are accompanied by powerful speakers, which amplifies their voice, turning their orders into words
of final judgement in the ears of criminals and heretics. When a fighter is equipped with a nuncio-aquila, it may use it
once per every battle as a Basic Action. When used, every enemy fighter in 18” must immediately make a Cool check. If
failed, they become Broken.
 HOW TO USE ADEPTUS ARBITES IN NECROMUNDA
CAMPAIGNS?
Adeptus Arbites are not a commonly encountered force on the Necromunda, as for most criminal activities the Palatine
Enforcers are used. Sometimes, a local threat or uprising can pose significant threat to the entire hive or even a planet
itself. That is when local authorities, be it gang leaders, guilders or Enforcers are calling Adeptus Arbites Investigation
team to suppress the danger and deal with any criminals bold enough to break the Imperial Law.

AS A GANG
With the permission of the Arbitrator, Adeptus Arbites can be used as a standalone gang. Player should note, that they
are not well suited for all types of campaign and there should be good reason why Adeptus Arbites would bother to
participate in gang skirmishes.
72
AS AN ALLY
Law-Abiding gangs can form an Alliance with Adeptus Arbites, if Allies are used in campaign. Palatine Enforcers will
treat this Alliance as a Strong one. Before each battle, the Player can ask Adeptus Arbites for help, provided that Enemy
gang has higher gang rating. Player may add Adeptus Arbites Gang, with total cost of max. 600 Credits, consisting of any
number of Arbitrators and Troopers, 0-1 Investigator and 0-1 Proctor. During the battle, they are treated just like any other
Alliance Crew (for example the Corpse Harvesting Party). If the player loses the scenario, Arbites will demand a price for
wasting their time – the player should pay them 2D3x10 Credits, or Test the Alliance, adding +2 to the test if the player
loose against Outlaw gang.

AS A HANGER-ON
Law-Abiding gangs can recruit (or rather ask for help and provide with a good reason why) as a Hanger-on. This fighter
uses Adeptus Arbites Investigator profile and can buy or sell wargear in the post battle Sequence. Investigator hired this
way will lose Gang Hierarchy (Champion), Group Activation (1) and Tools of Trade special rules and gain this one instead:

Part of the Crew: Unlike other Hangers-on, this fighter is always ready for a fight. As long as this fighter is part of the
gang roster, they are treated just like a regular Ganger for the purposes of selecting a crew. Therefore, this fighter may be
chosen or randomly selected as part of their gang’s starting crew just like any other Ganger.

However, just like any other Hanger-on, this fighter cannot gain any Experience or Advancements and, should they suffer
a Lasting Injury that would make a change to their Fighter card, this fighter is removed from the gang roster just like any
other Hanger-on.

RULES NOTE
Rules presented on the following pages, as well as for the Adeptus Arbites Weapons are fan made rules of my creation.
To use this booklet, player will need a copy of Necromunda Underhive rules (i.e. Necromunda Rulebook, Hive War
Rulebook, Ash Wastes Rulebook).

Rules for the rest of the weapons are available online for free, from the Warhammer Community:

OPPRESSION SKILLS
Oppression skills are unique to Adeptus Arbites and represent their resolved in merciless execution of Imperial Law,
which they learned during countless trainings in the Schola Progenium.

OPPRESSION SKILLS
D6 Skill
1 Shock Specialist
2 Shield Wall
3 Paragon of the Imperial Law
4 Inescapable Judgement
73
5 Oppressive Action
6 Your move, creep!

SHOCK SPECIALIST OPPRESSIVE ACTION

A fighter with this skill treats to hit rolls of 5 as 6 for the
purpose of the Shock trait.
SHIELD WALL
As long as this fighter is touching base with at least one
other fighter equipped with a suppression shield, both
fighters can never become Pinned.
PARAGON OF THE IMPERIAL LAW
This fighter will automatically pass any Bottle checks and
can never become Broken.
INESCAPABLE JUDGEMENT
After deployment and before start of game, nominate a
single enemy fighter. If, at the end of battle, the nominated
fighter is Seriously Injured or has been taken Out of Action,
and the roll to capture fighters is successful, the nominated
fighter is automatically Captured.
If a gang with a fighter with this skill has won the battle,
one of the following actions can be made:
• declare the enemy gang Outlaw (if they are Law
Abiding). This gang immediately change their
Alignment to Outlaw and cannot change it, until the
end of the Campaign
• or carry out extensive shakedown of the enemy gang’s
territory, if they are already Outlaw (or Alignments are
not used in a campaign) the Player must pay them
2D3x10 Credits to ease them. If the player does not
want to or cannot pay the price, one of his randomly
chosen fighters will go to the Recovery.
YOUR MOVE, CREEP!
Whenever a Charge action is declared against this fighter,
they can choose to immediately perform a Shoot (Basic)
action against the charging enemy fighter, provided they
are Standing. If an enemy is pinned as a result, their
activation ends immediately.

before any of them is activated.
• Once all participants of the Group Activation have been nominated, the controlling
player selects one and activates them as normal, fully resolving their activation before
selecting and activating the next. Each fighter activates individually; groups do not

 EXOTIC BEASTS
The worlds of the Imperium are host to many strange and
wonderful creatures, and Necromunda is no exception. It is
well documented throughout the ages that humans have
a strange propensity for keeping all manner of creatures as
pets, fascinated by their behaviour and comforted by their
loyalty, and in this the denizens of the underhive are no
different to humans anywhere else in the galaxy. What is
unique to Necromunda, though, are the type and variety of
pets that people choose to keep…
Exotic Beasts are purchased as Wargear and should
be recorded on their owner’s Fighter card accordingly.
82 However, where Exotic Beasts differ to normal Wargear
is that they will have their own Fighter card, which details
their unique stats, skills, and weaponry.
They follow all of the normal rules for a fighter, with the
following exceptions:
 henever the fighter that owns the Exotic Beast is
W If the owner is removed from the battlefield for any reason,
selected for a scenario, the Exotic Beast may also be
deployed. This may take the number of fighters in
a starting crew above the number specified by the
scenario.
 xotic Beasts can only be activated as part of a Group
E E xotic Beasts gain Experience and suffer Lasting Injuries
Activation with their owner. Accordingly, the owner of an
Exotic Beast gains the following special rule:
Group Activation (Exotic Beasts): When a fighter with
this special rule is activated, their controlling player must
activate all Exotic Beasts belonging to this fighter as well
as part of a ‘Group Activation’:
 he controlling player selects and activates each fighter
T the capturing gang may sell them as if they were a normal
in this Group Activation as normal, fully resolving each
activation before selecting and activating the next. Each
fighter activates individually; groups do not activate
simultaneously.
If this fighter itself is activated as part of a Group
Activation, this rule still applies, meaning any Exotic Beasts
this fighter owns are activated as described above when
this fighter is itself activated as part of a Group Activation.
E xotic Beasts must always end their activation within 3” of
their owner. If the Exotic Beast is more than 3” away at the
end of its activation, it must pass a Nerve test or become
Broken.
Should an Exotic Beast become Broken, it will run towards
its owner when activated rather than for cover. When an
Exotic Beast makes a Running for Cover (Double) action,
it runs towards its owner. It is only concerned with getting
back within 3” of its owner.
An Exotic Beast that has become Broken automatically
rallies if it ends an activation within 3” of its owner (note
that, during Campaign play, Exotic Beasts do not gain XP
for rallying in this way).
the Exotic Beast is also removed from play.
If an Exotic Beast is removed from the battlefield for any
reason, it is not counted for the purposes of Bottle tests.
as a normal Ganger and may become a Specialist.
E xotic Beasts may not take any additional equipment. They
may not use weapons other than those detailed on their
profile. They may never use Wargear.
E xotic Beasts can be taken Captive, in which case the
owning fighter’s gang can attempt to rescue them and
fighter. Exotic Beasts taken Captive cannot be put to work
in any Territories.
K9 CYBER-MASTIFF (EXOTIC BEAST)...........................90 CREDITS

Hardcases are a type of completely mechanical Cyber-Mastiff. They are known to be used by
Necromunda’s Palanite Enforcers. K9 Cyber-Mastiffs are similar in design, albeit as a tool of
Adeptus Arbites, they are enhanced to be quicker and more aggressive. This comes with the
cost of retaining some flesh parts, which makes them slightly less armoured and durable than
their fully mechanical counterparts.

SPECIAL RULES “Get him!”

Tenacious: K9 Cyber-mastiffs are renowned for their tenacity. If the Mastiff is taken Out of Judge Maximus,
Action, do not remove it from the battlefield if it has not yet activated this round. Once Houndmaster of 83
the Mastiff has completed its activation, remove it from the battlefield. the 9th Precinct

Faithful Protector: Whilst a K9 Cyber-mastiff is Standing and either Active or Engaged

within 3” of its owner, enemy fighters may not make a Coup De Grace (Simple) action
against the owner. In addition, If the owner is Standing and Engaged when activated, and
the Hardcase Cyber-mastiff is within 6’ of them, the K9 Cyber-mastiff may immediately – be
moved into base contact with one or more of the fighters Engaging the owner. This move
counts as a free action.

EQUIPMENT
A K9 Cyber-Mastiff may not purchase weapons or Wargear. A K9 Cyber-Mastiff is armed

 THE FORGOTTEN HIVE
Far north of the World Sump Ocean past the ancient
sunken shipyards of the Quinspirus Cluster and the
desolate rad pits of the Blitzguard lays a forgotten Spire
newly revealed by a millennia long Ash storm. None
can say what long begotten relics of Necromunda’s
Technocracy lay within its rusting and radiated interior or
what eldritch horrors lay in wait for the unwary traveller.
By no measure was the thing a Hive. Barely a pinnacle
compared to the manmade mountain monoliths of
Necromunda. But here north of north out on the edge of
the storm plains, where Nomads reign beyond the remit of
108 the clans and houses there were few structures to rival its
size. Derelict and forsworn, barely a soul in sight, its engine
heart long since stalled. Promethium no longer pumped
through destitute and calcified pipes. A pitiful mass of
machines and architecture thrust up like a dirty stiletto
through the ochre haze of the horizon. Bayonetted black
against the twilight smog like an ominous shadow.
It began as a rumour hushed in dim tents on the radtrail,
but like anything of value, the rumour spread through the
spider network of traders and tunnels until it reached the
dry docks of the Quinspirus cluster.
AN OPPORTUNITY
New hive. A rust relic emerged from the Ash storms
somewhere north of the world sump ocean, a technocratic
treasure of a bygone age. Like moths to the lantern,
Guilders and Warlords from afar moved quickly to lay
claim to the derelict citadel. Most faltered at the first,
lost in rad storms or engulfed by the shifting dunes. But
some persisted desperate to lay claim to the Phantom
fortification. A tentative foothold in this impermanent place
before the apparition descends back to myth shrouded in
discouraging electrical storms.
You are not the first and your reasons to be here are you
own, but as it lays before you now, a brooding monolith of
a dead era. You cannot escape the faded majesty of what
was. The few shanties that have built up around its toxic
rim are sparse and windblown temporal things, clinging to
what now passes as life in the shadow of the spire. Your
respirator coughs and gargles struggling to keep you alive
in this toxic acropolis of death. The wind begins to howl
as you check the blips emerging onto your Auspex. Your
arrival has not gone unnoticed. Unclipping an ammo pack
from its housing you take note of a makeshift waster sign
that translates as “BleakSpur” and you couldn’t agree
more. 109

DESIGNER’S NOTE: BLEAKSPUR GAME
Neil allowed me to include his magnificent build in this booklet, as well as provided pictures from
multiplayer, narrative, Inquisitor-style game located in Bleakspur Hive among the Ash Wastes of
Necromunda. It featured warbands created by him, Peter Hudson, Ben (Requiem 82), Jonathan
(Shiboleth) as well as NPCs provided by Bjarni Dali, Nicholas Pihlstrom and legendary artists John
Blanche. Link to full photo album of the Bleakspur Hive is found here:
